Vaudevillian Mikael Rudolph in "Swim Home"

In "Swim Home" Mikael shares the contents of his suitcase and through them his story in a high-paced and hilarious, yet touching non-verbal Vaudevillian physical comedy show. Audiences around the nation and world have delighted in his warmly interactive, vigorously animated one-man show reminiscent of European street cabaret and silent film. Each performance features beautiful classical mime and astounding magic, charming mask and puppet characters and plenty of audience interaction!

"In this style...he is a master. Absolutely. It could not have been done any better."
- Marcel Marceau

Mikael is just AMAZING to watch!

Was lucky enough to see 'Swim Home' in person a couple of years ago, and I've never forgotten it.

Only talked with him briefly, but he really seems to be a genuinely wonderful person.

Hey! Thank you so much. Where was the performance may I ask? I may or my not remember specifics about it, but only because I do so many shows and am now older than I was two years ago.

Great Gravity work! My time with Richmond Shepard in the 80's ("America's Foremost mime")

was life changing, it's great to see such a high level of skills again. Please post your next Los Angeles performance!

Thanks jstart,

I am starting to do some national and international touring. There is a clown performer by the name of Wolfe Bowart who is from L.A. and still performs there sometimes. He is excellent and a friend of mine. Look for his work!

Easily the single most impressive performance artist I have ever seen. He brought tears to my eyes with his clever comedy and amazing control. A true master. You will be missed Mikael! I'll hold on to your business card...just in case.

RIP sir...your genius will not be forgotten in our circles.

RIP Brother. Mikael passed from this mortal coil at 6:15 pm last night. His winning streak against the cancer has come to an end.  The winning streak in the hearts of friends and strangers will not end.

You rock, Mikael Rudolph!

[SisterRoz]

Wow ! Very cool !

[perrinfan]

Thank you for an amazing performance at the Overture Center, Mikael. I laughed until my sides hurt.

[ChanceMarmalade]

Amazing as always Mikael! This is the video that really got me into floating items which makes up most of my performances. I have a long way to go.
