Cat was great at my birthday party this past weekend. She read the room very well, kept people entertained, and floated between groups effortlessly. Besides the couple of people who discovered at the party that they have a fear of mimes, everyone absolutely loved her! She even helped with some other party things like prepping the cake / putting on the candles. I would definitely hire her again!
Response from Mime for Hire:
Thank you! Everyone was friendly & fun, so great to be a part of the celebration!
Catherine was a perfect mime for my party. She arrived and got ready on time. She did exactly what was needed from her, was interacting with all guests and definitely was a highlight of my event. She is a professional. Absolutely recommend hiring her!
Response from Mime for Hire:
Thank you Julia! It was a pleasure and a wonderful event to be a part of!
Until next time!
Catherine
Catharine was fantastic, professional, and most importantly fun! They came fully in character and didn't speak a peep (as expected). They did a great job of interacting with the band, attendees, and reading the room, and seeing where they were needed.
Prior to the event they were prompt with their responses and gave me options for available outfits to best fit my theme. 10/10 would hire again!
I cannot say enough about how amazing Catherine from Mime for Hire was. Which is funny because she didn’t say a word the whole time she was there!
We hired her for a French themed girls birthday party and they had a blast. They were playing and engaged and laughing the whole time. Which is really amazing for a group of nine year olds in this day of screens and screens and instant manufactured fun.
I would hire her again in a heartbeat. And you should too! You won’t regret it.
Awesome!! Kids and adults really enjoyed and had a great time!
Response from Mime for Hire:
Thank you Freda!

Happy Purim!
Excellent performance! Kept the crowd engaged and entertained. Was the talk of the party. Exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend
Response from Mime for Hire:
Thank you Frank!
We had a lovely experience with Catherine. She was prompt and professional. Thank you!!
Response from Mime for Hire:
Thank you! So much fun, great launch party & comedians!
We hired Catherine for a synagogue event. It's a noisy celebration and we don't use electricity. To get the families quiet would have been really hard, but Catherine did her thing and everyone loved it! They interacted with her, played with her and just enjoyed her wit and silliness. I look forward to using Catherine again!
Response from Mime for Hire:
Thank you Sarah! Such a joyful event, until next time!
Catherine
She was very entertaining for children as well as adults. She was awesome. She did gospel song "I won't complain " by Rev. Paul Jones, everyone rave over such a superb performance.
I would hired her again.
Response from Mime for Hire:

Catherine is an amazing mime and performer. My band performed at an electronic punk show and she performed with us and went above and beyond. It was cool.
Response from Mime for Hire:
Thank you Aiden! So much fun, thank you for having me!!!

Response from Mime for Hire:
Thank you Michelle!
They were so much fun!
great performance.
Response from Mime for Hire:
Thank you!
She brought multiple costumes and was very considerate of our time constraints. She was great at improvising. She brought a compelling around of energy into the room. The kids loved her and are still talking about her a week later. Can't go wrong with Catherine.
Stellar presentation and ability to work the room and a corporate crowd. Highly recommended.
Response from Mime for Hire:
Thank you, Michelle!
Lots of fun vendors & a great event!
Cat performed as a mime for our school's annual Father Daughter Dance which had the theme "An Evening in Paris". She was prompt, professional and flexible to our circumstances. The girls loved watching her and copying her. She was very in tune with what was happening in the room and used that to do some very funny things. She was also teaching some of the girls how to mime as well. The school principal and many of the parents and staff were very impressed. She truly made our event special. Thanks, Cat!
Response from Mime for Hire:
Lorraine!
Thank you for this wonderful review & dropping me off to the train! It brings great joy to me to bring the magic & fun of mime to students but especially touching for a Father Daughter Dance!
It was terrific being a part of it!
My guests loved Catherine. She provided fun entertainment for my daughters bridal shower. She was adorable, classy, professional and very, very sweet!
Catherine was outstanding! She went out of her way to accommodate my vintage Parisian themed bridal shower. She came up with a brand new costume upon request. She was delightful and entertaining the entire time. She made it a point to interact with each and every guest at the shower and made the bride feel very special on her big day. Catherine participated in games photos and the actual opening of the gifts I could not of asked for a better entertainer at my event. Thank you 💕
Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a mime!
Response from Mime for Hire:
Thank you, Maryellis!
Catherine was great and very professional. Everything from her communication leading up to the event, to her prompt arrival, to her surprising and delighting our guests, was perfect. She is an amazing Chaplin and was the perfect addition to our old Hollywood themed wedding!
Catherine is a true pro. She arrived early and eager. She is very pleasant and easy-going. Super professional. We did a walkthrough so I could outline the space and how I imagined the walk-around and stage performance to happen and she easily understood the parameters and was excited to fulfill all requests. Her look was clean and accurate and her performance skills high. She made the most of every moment with our 650 person audience and added an unforgettable component to our event. She's a great improv artist which is a true asset to event work. I would hire her again and recommend you do the same. Thanks Catherine!
Response from Mime for Hire:
Thank you Keith & the whole team at United Palace! It was very fun & an honor to play Chaplin for this event!
Catherine was great...took the effort to ask our color theme, and wore an outfit to match...entertained all, including children, passed out material...
Would definitely use again!
Catherine was excellent. Great communication and executed my vision perfectly. Her performance was phenomenal and a highlight of the party. Highly recommended for a memorable event.
Response from Mime for Hire:
Thank you, Spencer!
She was amazing ! She engaged the crowd well and interacted with everyone at the party! We all had a complete blast with her !
Catherine was absolutely wonderful to work with. She had exactly the background we were looking for and worked extremely with the students. Great personality and professionalism.
Catherine was very professional and performed as we had agreed upon. I highly recommend her.
Response from Mime for Hire:
Thank you! Terrific party, beautiful!
Dear Mime!
Thank you for bringing in your colorful exaggerated expressions into our diverse community. The result brought out the wonder, curiosity and laughter from people of all ages that attended our community event.
Used for a Royal Parisian 1st Bday party! Very punctual , professional and talented. Great communication before the party always answering back in a timely manner. My baby, kids and adults loved her! Kept the crowd going. We loved her entire look, super cute. Thank u for an amazing performance!
Response from Mime for Hire:
Thank you Nerissa! It was a great party and your family is wonderful, so glad I could be part of the celebration! Catherine
Catherine did an incredible job at our daughter's first birthday parsian theme celebration. We loved her so much we booked her an extra hour on the spot. The guests were entertained young and old. We would highly recommended her!!!
Response from Mime for Hire:
Thank you Marleny! It was a pleasure!
Mime for hire was exactly what we were looking for. Catherine did a great job in a very tiny space, made everyone laugh and fulfilled our vision. She was on time, professional, very well prepared , fun to work with and reasonably priced.
This was for a surprise for the father of the bride at a rehearsal dinner because he kept joking about having a mime perform the ceremony.
Thank You Catherine - Mime for Hire , Job well done!!!!
Response from Mime for Hire:
Thank you Christine! It was a lot of fun, thanks for letting me help out with the surprise!
