Professional Mime Artist

Professional Mime Artist Leo began his career in Brazil at the young age of 13, joining his brothers' comedy group, "The Shadow Brothers."

While mastering the craft of comedic mime on the streets of Sao Paulo, the three brothers were spotted by one of Brazil's major television networks, SBT. They went on to secure a regular slot on a popular entertainment show that lasted for 3 years. During this period, the group also performed in schools, at festivals, and for both corporate and private events.

The Shadow Brothers have been performing for 14 years, using a mime form called Sombra that originated in Latin America. Sombra, meaning shadow, involves the mime mirroring the movements and traits of individuals. As the mime is often behind the person, he acts like a shadow! This type of mimicry draws a lot of attention and is highly entertaining!

After studying theatre under the esteemed Brazilian actor Northon Nascimento, Leo moved to Europe, where he has spent the last 2 years performing on the streets of Madrid, Spain, and The Algarve.

Today, Professional Mime Artist Leo has brought his talents to the UK. Based in Manchester, he is available to perform his unique style of mime across the rest of the country.
