This is the hilarious moment a bungling unicyclist crashed into a road sign.

Acrobat performer Rolando Gambito, dressed in a colourful circus costume, was cycling along a road during a parade when he smashed into a 'Thank You' signpost placed in the lane in Agusan del Sur, the Philippines.

Footage captured by his colleague, Reynold Dingding, shows Rolando looking at his friend filming him on January 13.

Distracted and unaware that there was a barrier ahead, he lost his balance and collided with the sign.

He can be seen attempting to stop himself from plunging to the ground by clinging to the metal board. However, the sign toppled over.

Rolando desperately tried to grab it and pull it back into place, but he was too late.

The performer immediately lifted the sign back up, smiling at the camera out of embarrassment, as his colleagues nearby giggled at the comical mishap.

He did not sustain any injuries in the incident.
