Victor Borge act 1

[@franksaunders779]

My wife and I saw Victor Borge in London before we were married, 60 years ago. He amuses us as much now as he did then.

[@sinneadfert]

So lucky. Wish I'd had the opportunity

[@michaelspilman5220]

Victor borge and Andre previn brought classical music to the masses and are to applauded for doing so. Rest in peace Andre and victor goodnight god bless. You both will be always remembered . From Michael from Yorkshire and proud of it.

His comedy tends to be pretty timeless. True comedic hero.

[@TimFisheroo]

I cannot believe I only discovered him 17 years after his passing. What a great musician and comedian. No need for tired cultural references or filthy language, just universal comedic talent mixed with remarkable musical talent. What a gem of a man.

We always think of Victor Borge as a comic, but he was also one of the most superbly talented musicians ever.

[@fancyfakename8967]

Musicians, comedians they're both art.

In a Rick Beato interview, Sting references Victor Borge as a genius musician who knew how to play the wrong thing at just the right time.

[@GlenMcGlone]

Absolutely devastating. Should have been a concert pianist. Instead he decided to be a professional idiot. I’m so happy he made that career decision.

[@GlenMcGlone]

Massively gifted piano player. But he moved into the field of complete nonsense. He’s extremely gifted in complete nonsense. Every video is a masterclass in utter nonsense. I’ve watched them all. My complete nonsense has really improved.

My Grandma spent a good portion of her younger life catering. She had the privilege of serving Borge’s table once. She spilled salad dressing on his suit (: She said he just smiled at her. One of her most embarrassing moments, and best stories :)

[@hunters6940]

Wow. What an amazing story. That just goes to show how good of a person he was :-) but I connected but that resonated with me as my grandma was also the caterer and had her own catering business. During Bill Clintons reign, she used the money, around $20,000, she got as reparations because she was placed in a Japanese internment camp when she was 4 to start her catering business.

[@GlenMcGlone]

I used to wait tables in my twenties. I would have deliberately spilled a drink on him just for the reaction.

I like how he does risque material in a subtle and inoffensive way - safe for children because they wouldn't get it, but the adults would find it hilarious.

[@doak4886]

I am so grateful that I was born early enough to have seen and enjoyed this kind of humor and entertainment. No filth, politics, or hatred needed to provide historical comedic enjoyment. What an artist.

[@ChristerLiedholm]

He was. A brilliant comedian, and a superb pianist. Compare his comedy to the sort we are served today...

Amen to that 🙏

How great is Marilyn Mulvane to keep a straight face and keep singing so well while Victor is goofing around and talking to her and audience laughter almost drowning out her voice.... 😂😂😂

[@darronmould8762]

I saw Victor Borge in concert twice. Once was a solo comedy show, the other when he conducted an orchestra, with added comedy. We shared a birthday too, but not the same year. Actually, it was every year.

[@A1Motivator]

I agree great copy of his genious

[@kuliimjulischreiben]

I could see him conducting PDQ Bach. He would be well-suited for that!

[@steinwaygrande3971]

Victor Borge was a genuis and his sense of humour was hilarious. Some of it was made on the run when people came in late. I was honoured to have seen him in three countries during his life and the last time we saw him was in Australia three months befor he passed away. A really great pianist and comedian. Dont have any more Victor Borge,s

[@steinwaygrande3971]

Some times these people who come in late are usually "plants" as part of the show

[@jorgneuhaus7856]

Victor Borge: There is a dear and wonderful dutch pianist and comedian Hans Liberg who himself is a fascinating and very funny, impressing musician/comedian - regarding himself, most probably, as one successor of Victor Borge. I was fascinated. Later on Victor Borge (a Dane) got me immediately - being a former high-rank concert-pianist, who - obviously - don`t match that pompous attitude of nowadays ´cool comedians´ . . . He was moking Adolf Hitler during the 2. world war and had to immigrate to the USA. I instantly fell in love with this old-fashioned gentleman of music and comedy. As the other commentators already mentioned: It is so beautiful to watch this slightly mocking and quietly provocative, nonaggressive and benigne man develope his humor in his appearances . . . This is so sweet! Thank you.
