Professional Mime Artist

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

While honing the art of comedic mime on the streets of Sao Paulo, the three brothers were discovered by one of Brazil's largest television networks, SBT. They secured a regular spot on a popular entertainment show that continued for 3 years. During this time, the group also performed in schools, at festivals, and for corporate and private events.

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

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

Today, Professional Mime Artist Leo has brought his talents to the UK. He is now based in Manchester and available to perform his unique style of mime throughout the country.
