Now Touring — June 2026
Thank goodness you’re here! A dead mime needs help. At this interactive séance, audiences must think outside the box to help a family of ghosts resolve their unfinished business. Play charades, solve puzzles and pierce the veil between life and death on a madcap quest for forbidden knowledge.
“It’s perhaps what it might feel like to be trapped in an escape room with an excellent mime performer… It’s clever stuff, and he’s very funny in his spontaneous interactions. The audience participation, as a result, never feels forced or embarrassing.”
“Creator and performer Leo Lion gives a remarkably nimble and emotional performance, transforming from Levi to each family member with dexterity and clarity… Somewhere between an escape room, a séance, and a mime show — interactive, hilarious, and touching. An existential must-see.”
“This cleverly structured, extraordinarily creative show is a mixture of mime and clown, with a little bit of charades and game show thrown in for good measure. Advice to future audiences: the more you put into it, the more you get out of it! Amazing talent and tremendous fun.”
The HELP ME!!!! card game. Bring the séance to your table.
