2. Thanks, that was fun! I also love Groucho.
I took my Mom to see Victor Borge in concert one time, about 15 years ago, and he was postively brilliant - spontaneous, witty, engaging, funny and of course a brilliant pianist on top of all that - he always performed a few classical pieces near the end of his show, without any comedy, and they were beautifully played.

3. "Pardon me, madame, but are you laying an egg?"
Borge to an audience member with a hysterical laugh.

He was hilarious.

5. He was witty and spontaneous. He was also a brilliant pianist.
I took my Mom to see him about 15 years ago and it was great, both muscially and comedically.

8. I was hoping someone would make a remark about the pants.
I wonder if he wore them for the comic value.

9. My fave
when he starts playing a classical piece, stops because it sounds wrong, then turns the music right-side up! :rofl:

Gets me every time!
