Let me introduce you with Monsieur Momo! He is a very talented clown artist who lives and performs in Germany. Timo's journey to becoming a professional clown is a testament to the power of following your passion. From a young age, he showed a natural talent for making people laugh, and he never let go of that spark. Through years of hard work, dedication, and self-taught practice, Timo developed his skills as a performer and discovered the true art of clowning. Today, he is a sought-after entertainer, bringing joy and laughter to audiences of all ages.

One of the things that sets Timo apart as a clown is his deep understanding and appreciation for the art form. He knows that clowning is not just about dressing up in silly costumes and making faces, but about connecting with people on a deeper level and eliciting genuine emotions. Through his performances, Timo creates a world of wonder and whimsy, where anything is possible and the audience is invited to join in the fun. His acts are both entertaining and meaningful, touching the hearts of all who witness them.

Timo's success as a clown is not just due to his talent, but also to his hard work and dedication to his craft. He has trained with some of the best in the business, taking classes and workshops to refine his skills and learn new techniques.

Bip the Clown 1974


Marcel Marceau ; born Marcel Mangel; 22 March 1923 – 22 September 2007) was a French actor and mime artist most famous for his stage persona, "Bip the Clown". He referred to mime as the "art of silence" and he performed professionally worldwide for over 60 years. As a Jewish youth, he lived in hiding and worked with the French Resistance during most of World War II, giving his first major performance to 3,000 troops after the liberation of Paris in August 1944. Following the war, he studied dramatic art and mime in Paris.

In 1959, he established his own pantomime school in Paris, and subsequently set up the Marceau Foundation to promote the art in the U.S. Among his various awards and honors he was made "Grand Officier de la Légion d'Honneur" (1998) and was awarded the National Order of Merit (1998) in France. He won the Emmy Award for his work on television, was elected member of the Academy of Fine Arts in Berlin and was declared a "National treasure" in Japan.[citation needed] He had a 20-year friendship with Michael Jackson, who said he used some of Marceau's techniques in his own dance.
