 ointy objects. Gasp in disgust as he plays with his food. Just try to look
  away as this overgrown delinquent stuffs five ping-pong balls into his mo
 uth\, ALL AT THE SAME TIME!\nThe San Diego Union-Tribune says\, 'This is t
 he kind of guy your parents warned you about. Heedless of repeated warning
 s not to try that at home\, Michael has perfected the art of senseless and
  dangerous stunts\, and now he's showing them to your family. This is a so
 lo tour de force by &ldquo\;a lean\, lanky physical comic\, with sharp tim
 ing and a dancer's clarity.&rdquo\;\nMichael Lane Trautman started out in 
 life as a fairly normal kind of person. After growing up in Springfield\, 
 Illinois\, he attended William Jewell College in Liberty\, Missouri\, wher
 e he studied Political Science with the intention of becoming a lawyer. Af
 ter college\, Michael decided that the legal profession was not going to b
 e much fun\, so he started looking for something to do that would be. In 1
 976 he took his first mime class\, and in 1977 was invited to become a fou
 nding member of Mimewock\, a Kansas City based school and performing compa
 ny. Since then\, he has been having fun performing throughout the world. V
 ariously identified as a visual comic\, performance artist\, new vaudevill
 ian\, mime (gasp)\, physical comedian\, storyteller\, magician\, and fool\
 , he claims only to be a clown...and not a very traditional clown at that.
 \nHe has appeared at the New York International Festival of Clown Theater\
 , Festival D'Ete in Quebec\, the General Jackson Showboat at Opryland USA\
 , the Just For Laughs Festival in Montreal\, and The Kennedy Center for th
 e Performing Arts.  He was featured on WOW! The Most Awesome Acts On Earth
 \, an ABC Television Special\, and The Statler Brothers Show on TNN.  Mich
 ael was an Artist-in-Residence at Mabou Mines Theater Company in NYC and h
 as also been an Artist-in-Residence for the Drama Department of The Cathol
 ic University of America where he adapted and directed Alfred Jarry's Ubu 
 Roi.  Michael has performed as the star clown in a national tour of The Bi
 g Apple Circus Stage Show\, and in 2006 had the pleasure of working on a p
 roduction of Busker Alley starring Jim Dale and Glenn Close.
