YORK ROYAL THEATRE

Yo yo yo

After an amazing run in Edinburgh the Tartuffe is going on further and wider than ever before. We got yes, 5 star reviews in ever English paper going most probably.

We are performing soon on the 1st and 2nd of October in England's wonderful capital, York which is lovely in the YORK ROYAL THEATRE in the main house which is EIGHT HUNDRED SEATS which is wooooo wow, lots of people and great platform on which to do the mime art.

Lots of love

There we are

Jacques!

Yes

Right, yes. I love this place.
Edinburgh is an amazement to me for which I am greatly enthused. I have met a variety of friendly friends through various means. My favourites so far have been a girl called Becky who was a mime enthusiast. I also very much admire a troupe of 4 girls with large breasts who flyer in their support-underwear - I have namenicked them 'The Boobie Girls' for which they are greatly amused.
We have had some teething problems for the show however, all the understudies for Valere have been bizarre with one man named Rategg yesterday for which mimi struggled greatly to articulate his name.
However, we will have fun later in this week on wednesday when we perform the delectable 'Tartuffe Cabaret' - look out for me making 'LeCoqtails'! You see? It is LeCoq, oui, yes.
So, the Squat is turning to be quite a good little place.
Also, for those wishing to see me Talk-Mime, you must be quick as the show is selling out like a rabid dog. Well yes.

Ok

I am here

Ok

So here we are in the city of Edinburgh. However, there is a slight confusion. It is not imagined as how I realised it. We are not on a glittering stage but as a matter of fact in a dump exactly. It is an old burnt out room that is now a squat. Orgon says it is cool and for the good theatre republic but I think he would rather be on good stage boards as we say in France.

This may be a problem if the republic will not like to come to see our shows if it is in a hole of shit. I want the lots of people to come and see my talk-mime but sadly if it is a hole of shit it will deter the republic faster than a jack of spades.

Good grief, let us hope we will contend with the other shows strongly. If not then it will be back to the cobbles of Paris with a pot to piss in I fear.

Though, tits up, we'll see how it pans out!

Edinbraaaa

Helloooo

Weeee!

Hellooo

Hellooo

I have not post here in a while so here we are. Hello. I have been very busy with the rehearsals and preparations for the Edinburgh 2009 shows of the Tartuffe which approach quickly. Good god as the vicar would say to the bishop, we have not much time left so quickly buy tickets. We have sold loads. I expect this is encountered by the fact that the show succeeded last year and so there are people with good praise for the coming production. the Pressure will not get to me.

I am excited to say the least and await the festivities with great anticipation. Soon we will perform to audience.

We did one tried performance to an audience. It had hi-cupps. Hopefully in Edinburgh it will be more passive.

Here is a picture of me backstage...t
You will see that my face looks a bit fat. It is not. Accompanying me is Mimi, she can-can dances. With him is Renard, a clown, he is like a brother to me but sometimes I think he annoys me, perhaps he is not so much like a brother. I have not known him that long. Standing with me also is Benoit, he is a statue alive and is texting someone, I know not whom. Behind Benoit is the apparition of Amorette, she is a bizzare little woman, I think she is either a child or midget, however, our relationship is amicable. My greatest friends from amongst the troupe are Benoit and Renard, mainly because they have our same street roots and we have a lot of culture connections - we know where it's at.

I will post again soon and await your reading eyeballs.

Le Trial

Success is here!

I have not yet heard news from the troupe of M'sieur Orgon Poquelin. However, I have heard news regarding the Edinburgh Festival Fringe more widely.

I successfully auditioned and received a part in a production of Mr Kafka's 'The Trial' by the Theatre Belted Up. Rumour has it that the great Orgon Poquelin may even be involved in this production but this may just be hearsay.

I will be miming in this show as to be expected but I will also be talk-miming, a new and very specific but difficult branch of mime so watch this space! You can see me around 11.30 every evening of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Watch out Edinburgh, you better get ready for a Jacques Attack! Woop woop!

For these roles in this production I will be wearing a costume similar to the one in my Spotlight Photo just there in the corner. Instead of my usual more casual stripey-top beret combo, I will wear a tight black t-shirt and expose my hair, so for all the ladies out there, you're in for a treat. Well done! So, here's to the a summer!

Mime: Au Naturel

Below are my top three mime-a-likes that appear in nature :

1. The Badger

Look at their little black and white stripes on their face. They are pretty shit at mime but they almost hint at being dressed as mimes with their little Badger faces. Adorbable. Canadians eat them sometimes I here.

2. The Raccoon

Look at that petit critter. The black and white stripes here are more defined than its cousin the badger. Again, the raccoon is pretty shit at mime but look at that little mime tail, the unevolved relative of even the late Marceau perhaps. Who knows. Again, I hear Canadians eat them.

But these little creatures haven't got a say on that state of play when it comes to this guy...

3. The Zebra

Look at that. That is God's way of saying hallelujah to the mime. Look at these two zebras which are more or less Horse-Mimes. They are shit at actual mime but they are well on the way to achieving the aesthetic neccessessary. Well done Zebra aka the Horse-Mime, you have won todays competition.
