The Master of Silent Comedy and the Invisible Clown
With a red nose, a stage, and absolute silence, Mykhaylo Usov—better known as Misha Usov—has captivated audiences around the globe. A pioneer of modern clowning and physical storytelling, Usov’s career spans over 30 years, including headlining with Cirque du Soleil and performing for royalty at London’s Royal Albert Hall.
Based in California, Usov is not just a performer—he’s a philosopher of presence and emotion. His concept of the Invisible Clown defines a performer’s most vulnerable and authentic state—where the body speaks, and the heart listens.
He is the founder of the Invisible Clown Institute, where he trains aspiring performers to connect deeply with their audience without uttering a word. His teachings go far beyond stagecraft—they inspire confidence, charisma, and emotional awareness in artists, entrepreneurs, and anyone seeking to communicate more powerfully.
Usov’s influence stretches into advertising, digital storytelling, and beyond. His unique visual humor has appeared in commercials, festivals, and viral social media content—earning him awards and a devoted global following.
Whether he’s directing a workshop in the Sierra Nevada foothills, publishing his new book “The Invisible Clown”, or simply making a child smile, Mykhaylo Usov continues to prove that silence is golden—and laughter is universal.
