A simple idea, yet quite some craft and training in its execution, easy to understand even for children, no word necessary, no chance to offend someone, timeless comedic effect. That's how art works!
Bravo !!!! The great thing about watching a good mime is that it all feels like a close-up shot of the action. The edges just kind of blur in our field of vision kind of like the ropes behind the curtain. The attention is focused on that one balloon while your body does these tricks to keep us focused there. You use your tricks into fooling our minds into assuming that the rest of you is just struggling. Amazing! You're a true artist, man.
Hi all. Just to say thanks everyone for the positive comments (and even the negative ones are pretty funny). Nowadays I have a bit of a stressy job so it's nice to have some positive feedback. Thanks again.
I don't even know if it's so much that. I just think it's more so, mimes aren't like a major rofl funny. They're the kind of funny that make you laugh your ass off on the inside, because you can't believe how amazing this guy is. I really enjoyed it, and I think the audience did too, especially if they laughed even a tad. Good work, seen better but still very good work. Loved when the balloon popped. Expected it, but still loved it.
wow, look at your muscles when you "try" to push/pull the balloon, that's where the talent rests, so admirable. Your facial expression is splendid also.
I'm a magician and I've recently found an interest in mime. I may have to do something similar. the thing taht really draws me to mime is that it's like magic in the fact that it's about creating a world without limitations by forming your own reality. I think it was Marcel Marceau who said "the only limitation is your imagination."
Adding the balloon into the mime act was genius! The way that it stayed in place when it was "stuck" was perfect. You are very talented and I appreciate you posting this video. It really made me laugh and we all can use more of that. Mime on!
@lukiaffe Ha! That's actually pretty good. I think you could make it a bit shorter and I wasn't too sure about the jumping sideways stuff at the end. Still, well done and keep practising!
wow. i love wen this guy is trying to pull the balloon. haha. this was good. im depressed, because someone i love dosnt love me back. haha. but who needs to know?
Ah, I apologise. The reference I'm talking about is when a swordsman in the book does a kata so perfectly without a sword, that the characters watching - even the swordsman herself imagines a sword to be there.

To do this kind of mime is easy. I tried it. I gave up after a while. You now have my full respect!

Thanks again.
You are absolutely amazing. All of those things you did looked soooo realistic. Keep on miming!
Great acting. That was hilarious. Wow, I really want to learn how to do it.
This is a great example of pantomime. I use it when I am teaching my fifth graders about pantomime in drama class. Thank you. They love it!

Well done! I can only fathom the amount of practice for that, being a fellow performer.
this is amazing
i hope that you continued practicing now that you're 50 because that would be a very entertaining thing to do for your kids/grandkids
I love this routine :D
great work Curtis
Its such a good illusion. I wish there were more great mimes out there. I love this stuff.
wow, look at your muscles when you "try" to push/pull the balloon, that's where the talent rests, so admirable.
Your facial expression is splendid also.
man I do not regret watching this at all
i liked where you were trying to move the ballon and it refused. nice job.
You are amazing.i am really inspired by your act. Highly creative!!! shall I try this in my college too.
Nothing but balloon, all that you need! Fantastic!
Mimes never cease to amaze me.
wow now thats talent!!!
great skills mate

Very smoothly done my man. Very smoothly done indeed.
i really enjoyed that! I'm not sure why some other people on this website didnt appreciate that talent :)
wow when u were pushing the balloon it looked as if the balloon was really as heavy as a rock and u couldnt push it. thats just magical
Yes, I'm happy to agree with that. Just watched the clip of Les Bubb on Friday Night Live and it's very impressive.
why was the audience coughing so much?
AIDS
corona
Lol 7 year old comment hope ur doing ok
i LOVE it! my friend and i are both so passionate about this stuff and hope to be able to learn some of it
I know from experience that mime is not as easy as some people make it look and this guy is VERY good at it x
That's really cool. You're very talented.
I'm pretty sure that act is really hard to do and needs lots and lots of practise before you get it right like you did, congrats, great vid!
Insane skills!
Wow, mimes are so awesome!

That was good, not many can do that so well.
He is a legend
The mime show is funny. I like it very much.
Holy crap. Friggin amazing. I'm trying to learn how to mime and body isolation. Any tips??
HAHAHAHA!!!!! I was just thinking how polite they are in UK, because in the U.S. we'd have sent him out on a stretcher.
mate that was really cool....and really well done
That's amazing! I could swear that you were holding a real balloon!
the pushing and pulling part was good
this is what i call art
wow what a brilliant act
Adding the balloon into the mime act was genius! The way that it stayed in place when it was "stuck" was perfect. You are very talented and I appreciate you posting this video. It really made me laugh and we all can use more of that.
Mime on!
Wow that was very inpressive i like mimes they are so cool. I wish i could perform mime well but thats a shame!
wow really nice! really looked like the balloon was stuck.
UNDERRATED PERFORMER !!

Curtis my friend Pozesedhobo sent me here thanks to you he got a full time mime job thankyou
@lukiaffe Ha! That's actually pretty good. I think you could make it a bit shorter and I wasn't too sure about the jumping sideways stuff at the end. Still, well done and keep practising!
while viewing this video I was struck by a very deep,philosophical question:"if you shoot a mime...is it proper to use a silencer?"
Damn
looks really real
this is awsome
@lukiaffe Well done on learning to do it. I hope you get to be on television.
Very nice Mime work.
