“Laughter is the shortest distance between two people”
- Victor Borge
This rare documentary reveals the unknown side of one of the most innovative and influential concert artists of the 20th century. One of Victor Borge’s achievements was the difficult, almost impossible, task of combining classical music with a different discipline. Mr. Borge introduced an element of surprise and comedy to a serious concert: the sense of unexpected, of wonder, the feeling that anything, at any given moment in time, could happen and he would make sure it would be the most wonderful, joyful moment of your life. Perfectionist in his craft, Mr. Borge was an old-fashioned gentleman that lived life, on and off stage, to its fullest. He’s irreplaceable, he’s my personal inspiration and he will be greatly missed for a long time.
The word is out: WQXR - the nation’s most listened-to classical radio station - invited me to perform at Classical Comedy Contest as part of the New York Comedy Festival.
The event will take place at the legendary club Caroline’s on Broadway in front of the live audience and celebrity judges: Peter Schickele of PDQ Bach, comedian Robert Klein, IMG’s Charles Hamlen and opera star Deborah Voigt.
Showtime: November 8th at 7PM.

Hope to see you there!
