Mimes

Mimes have had it rough - the traditional black and white outfit, the constant ridicule and of course, the no talking rule. But, with the advent of creative;y entertaining television, miming has been redefined into something spectacularly hilarious.

Fast and Loose is a BBC series in the same vein as Whose Line Is It Anyway? It includes sketches where two contestants wear soundproof ear phones while someone mimes out a popular song. It's friggin' hilarious! The ones I've seen are Love is all around you and Don't Stop Me Now.

This interpretive dance has lifted miming from it's sordid and under appreciated past!
