Outside of the UK is ...

Not in the US. Though local theater performances are a thing, but they are mostly Nutcracker ballet by the local ballet schools, Christmas concerts by choirs and youth orchestras, and big tickets shows in the cities.

(I went to pantomine once in the UK. I was a kid and loved it! Wish that would become a thing here because you can only see the Nutcracker oh so many times)

Mummering is still practised in Eastern Canada which is an old English tradition.

Nope! Not at all in the USA.

Nobody liked mimes, dear. Why they haven’t made a horror film about mimes must be because the only possible narrative line would be people kicking the toadstools out of the mime(s), and that doesn’t say much about the mimes as monsters, now, does it? Clowns outrank mimes in the personal-power scheme of things.

There are trailer park dwellers, then mimes, then pandhandlers. That’s pretty much the degenerative hierarchy.

the us only has the culture churned out by the fortune 500 media company store.

we lap that trash up. then we're full.

we dont sing 100 year old folks songs, we dont dance 100 year old dances, we dont wear 100 year old clothes.

we're on the clock.
