Animal Mime
(2014+)


11:11:39 ... A man brings a woman from the audience on stage and invites her into his world. He will try to seduce her but will be interrupted in turn by a parrot, a Tyrannosaurus rex and a cat.

While the Acro Net is being secured away by a handful of stage-hands, our intrepid comedian/mime is working the stands looking for an unsuspecting audience member to be his date for the evening. Once selected, he ushers her to the front of the stage, dropping her at his “front door”, and waits inside on his two-seater couch for her to ring his doorbell. Once welcomed inside and seated on the couch, he becomes “smitten” and nervous as if he’s a young man on his first date. He fidgets helplessly, and then remembers dancing is the popular thing and goes to turn on his radio. It shocks him as he does so, sending him into a whirlwind of electronica-induced dance moves and Velociraptor impersonations (he really sells those Velociraptor stomps!) After a few moments the odd behavior wears off and he returns to her side on the couch, unawares anything is wrong. A moment or two passes and he then remembers that he has yet to offer her a beverage, so he rises once again to get one.

While he is “out of the room”, she is “visited” by his “pet bird” – played by him. While the bird is busy head-bobbing, whistling, and attempts to woo her, the “cat” catches the bird, turning it into nothing more than a handful of feathers. The cat then takes what he feels his is rightful place on the couch, preening and kneading – generally making the audience member slightly uncomfortable. What follows is a predictable, but hilarious, exhibit of cat behavior from ignoring its owner to using the litter box, but when he “coughs up a furball” the entire big top dissolves into sheer hysteria! The icing on the cake is a laser pointer’s light pointed at the chest of the already uncomfortable audience member with a cat ready to pounce! The routine ends when the cat, stretched out on the back of the couch, falls off the back, heralding the return of our now human mime with drinks in hand.
