OK – so its pushing it a little to make this qualify as a music video – attending a Victor Borge performance mostly consisted of a lot of build up and not so much music – however, it was always a pleasure to listen to.
Comedy
Sunday Humour
This is a bit different to my ‘usual’ Sunday choices – but it seemed so appropriate 😁 – and humour is such an important facet of our lives every day.
Back To The Funny Stuff
back to humour today – I expect that most of my brass playing friends have seen this performance before, but it is worth repeating – and will come as a surprise to those who have not seen it.
The Fun Continues
Another larger than life figure in the field of “humour in music” is Gerard Hoffnung. He organised a series of three festivals in the Royal Festival Hall – the third of which was coincidentally on my 8th birthday! I did have the CD set of these concerts, but somewhere along the line I loaned it to someone and they obviously enjoyed it a lot as well, since it was never returned 😁
Now We Have A Laugh
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.
