There are lots of ways that comedy and music can be combined – not always deliberately 😃 things going wrong often turn very funny – but I am aware that taste in comedy is a very individual thing – so forgive me if some of the selections that I share over the next few days you don’t find at all amusing.
I think I am on reasonably safe ground with this first one though. I saw Victor Borge live on a number of occasions and, even though his routines did not vary too much and – yes – you knew what was coming his comedic genius and timing meant that it was still funny – perhaps funnier because you did know and anticipate exactly what was coming.
There are lots of clips that I could choose – maybe more another time – but his interaction with Marilyn Mulvey was superb.
Hope it makes you smile

I saw Victor Borge perform in Toronto in 1976. Took him 20 minutes to tell a 2 minute joke. Very funny.
