I haven't actually heard a whole lot of laughter from Circus (maybe 
I'm not paying attention), but this reminded me of something from our 
last traveling exhibit, Grossology.  There was a certain cohort of 
visitors (3-4 year old girls, if memory serves) who just *loved* 
being sneezed out of the giant nose (a big blower would go off every 
90 seconds or so, with an 'ah - ahh - Ahhhh - CHOOOO!' sound effect). 
They would do it over and over, cowering in mock terror inside the 
nose as they waited for the sneeze and then scattering across the 
hall after each sneeze, doing that scream-that-ends-in-a-giggle that 
delighted little kids do.  Fantastic.  :-)
