 While he was working at Circus Krone&mdash;where he still performed his three-minute reprise in the ring and the warm-up&mdash;the [[International Circus Festival of Monte Carlo]] approached David and asked him to perform as a reprise auguste to cover the many ring changes that are necessary during the Festival’s performances. David accepted enthusiastically: He was at long last recognized as a full-fledged clown. His style of clowning clicked with the Festival’s knowledgeable audience, and to his surprise, the Jury awarded David Larible the coveted Silver Clown award (1988).
-After the award ceremony, [[Jérôme Medrano]] came to congratulate him and told him: "If I still had a circus, you would have been my ''auguste de soirée''" (reprise auguste)&mdah;quite a compliment from a man who had been the director of what was considered as the "Temple of Clowning," Paris’s legendary [[Cirque Medrano]]. Yet, when David returned to Circus Krone, he was still asked to perform no more than his usual three-minute piece, award notwithstanding. It was to be his last season with the German circus.

 In January 1989, David was invited back to the Monte Carlo Festival as a special guest, out of the competition. He introduced there his knife-thrower parody, the first piece in which he used a member of the audience in the ring. A summer season followed in England, at the [[Blackpool Tower Circus]], before a tour with the famous [[Circo Tihany]] in 1990 in Mexico, with a few forays in the southern United States. By now, David was not a reprise auguste anymore: He was the star-clown of the show.

 In 1982, opportunity knocked when the German ZDF tlevision channel asked David to create clown pieces for its show, “Circus, Tiere, Clowns und Akrobaten”. This association lasted seven years, during which David created dozens of short pieces. It is at that time that he introduced his first two original creations (later widely copied): The paper bag gag, which involved the audience, and the "Juggling Ballerina," in which he juggled scarves in a tutu outfit to classical music.
-[[Image:Vivien_%26_David_Larible.jpg|thumb|left|300px|David and sister Vivien]]The Laribles alternated their Circus Krone seasons with winter engagements in Italy, where David had better opportunities to fully develop his clown work: With [[The Togni Family|Wioris Togni]] in 1982, [[The Togni Family|Cesare Togni]] in 1983, [[The Casartelli Family|Medrano-Casartelli]] in 1984 and 1985, [[The Togni Family|Darix Togni]] in 1986 and 1987.
