Queen Street - The Little Tramp

We are back in Brisbane and this is Queen Street in the Central Business District (CBD). Queen Street seems to be the daytime place to be. The Valley is the place to be at night and is edgier.

Anyway, there always seem to be street performers on Queen Street. Here, as in most other places, jugglers seem to be the most common performers. But there are some unusual ones like the guys who carry fish puppets around on poles. And then there is this Charlie Chaplain mimic who is around most weekends.

I guess I don't get the Little Tramp. I know, I know, he is supposed to be a comic genius. But why? Anyway, this imitator seems to do OK. He stands still until you drop some money in his bucket and then he comes alive.
