A friend of mine sent me a link to a mime performance of Johann Lippowitz. I wasn't expecting too much from it, since I am from Odense, where we have Denmark's only mine theater - with one very bad mime.
Johann Lippowitz turned out to be all the YouTube minutes worth, see for yourself:
I liked him so much, I did a little research. You will notice, he has similar facial expressions to Mr. Bean, and he is also played by a British actor and comedian. His real name is David Armand, and you can see his profile on the Internet Movie Database. He also has a MySpace profile.
David Armand has only made three performances as Johann Lippowitz, and the last one is to Natalie Imbruglia's Torn. I found this great video where he performs with Natalie Imbruglia herself:
More information about this last clip, can be found in the Wikipedia article about David Armand.
Mimes do have a place in comedy after all :-)
