About me:
I'm an interactive clown and street theatre performer. I'm also an actor. I've been mucking about for a living for over twenty years at outdoor venues, cabaret, theatre and corporate events all over the world.I perform a comedy escape show called "The Great Escape", and an indoor theatre/cabaret show called "The Conductor". I've also had many years experience of performing for corporate functions, playing an eccentric waiter and other characters. At the moment I'm in the hit comedy show "Ha Ha Hamlet" which is on a uk tour after a run at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. More info can be found at www.mikeraffone.com and www.hahahamlet.com

Who I'd like to meet:
Dalia Lama, The Australian who invented spray on skin grafting (Forget her name, perhaps someone out there can help me), My bank manager (Does he exist?)
