Mime was actually used before people could communicate and it even is used somewhat today to express to a mute person. Mime was first used in Greek Theater. In Italy during the 16th Century Commedia dell'Arte was acted out on the streets of Italy. The street performers wore sad or happy faces and 'acted out.' Then in 1811 a Bohemian man Jean Gaspard Batiste Deburau introduce Mime in Paris. After WWII Marcel Marceau invented his own special characterizations known as 'Bip.' He was influenced by the 'prat falls' of silent film stars such as Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton. Mime can tell a story, or, simply act out movements. Mimes perform more comedy than drama.
Mimes are quite present in America and many enjoy their story telling or humor, while others find them a nuisance if they are on the street and in the faces of passersby.

What is funnier a mime pretending to be trapped in a glass box or a mime actually trapped in a glass box?
No matter hard they try, mimes are just not funny. Of course, I could probably get in trouble from the Anti Defamation Leauge and the National Association For Advancement of Mimes, (N.A.A.M.), but mimes are dangerous people and have done great damage to the world of entertainment with their maudlin nature and all that pathos and bathos. Mimes should grow up and learn a different trade. It's not that I am prejiduced against mimes...well, maybe I am, but it is because of a horrible tragedy that happened when I was a child. This mean mime trapped me inside one of his stupid boxes and I thought I couldn't get out. My parents couldn't find me anywhere because I was hidden in this stupid mimes box. It was horrible. I had to go to therapy. I saw a mime therapist who had me pretend to lie on a couch and he pretended to listen. I am better now.
