M. Marceau was brilliant, of course, but in generasl I hate mimes. They're too 'passive-aggressive', and their acts often amount to little more than unflattering imitations/caracatures of those watching them.
You just want to punch them!

A little goes a long way. I was in a variety theatre once when the mime came on. After the first couple of minutes an old man near me shouted "Speak up".

Oh - it's meme, not mime. Sorry. Ain't never seen a meme act. But a women in my office pronounced memo as meemo - which attracted a lot of - to my mind unnecessary - obloquy from people who consistently used the aberrant apostrophe. She was sweet and dotty. She passed over - a spiritualist - years ago. I wonder how widespread that pronunciation is? Which reminds me of Capt. Nemo - which would be a good name for a mime who are (at least professionally) terribly self-effacing, I was checked last week for using they and them for he/she and him/her. Then the person who corrected me told me she was at a smart party in Hampstead recently, and everybody was there. I said - Was he?
