La risata è la via più breve tra due umani (Victor Borges)

I had the privilege of meeting him during the 90s, in the US. I was working at the theatre he was headlining. Funny beyond belief, he had them crying, mostly young university students, and they cheered him for three encores. Then we, the crew, had pizza and he sat and told us jokes for another hour. What a man.

However, she was killed in an accident a couple of weeks before he came to town. I was watching this for her. He wouldn't have disappointed her. RIP to both of them.

I had the pleasure of seeing him when I was 11 years old on Broadway with my cousin the same age. It was one of the best shows I have ever seen. He was hysterical and to this day, I am 71, I will never forget it.

Courios eyes like those of a child, but with a twinkle that says "Funny, eh? Got'cha there!". We don't even have to mention his musical talent. He didn't even WANT to be funny.

dang khoa i’m going to explain the shop to you but I need you to unclear you mind of other things. The reason why it’s funny it’s because well explaining that the two people are hidden behind the trees he says that the chorus starts playing, he says that nobody knows why signifying that and not the musicians not the composer not even the actors, this is because Mozart was the only one that knew why and that very moment the chorus was playing but for the people remaking the scene, they were just doing what was on the script. So when he says that Mozart is the only one that knows what was going on but he’s dead it’s just a matter of fact joke and there is no punchline, it’s just unexpected

It never gets old. I've seen these sketches many times but I laugh as if it's the first time I see them. RIP Mr Borge and thank you for making the world a little more bearable

He came to my rural northern California high school in 1957 as a part of our National Assemblies programs. He was wonderfully. He did a bit performing as a player piano, and you could even hear the paper roll flapping at the end of the performance. He was a comedic genius, and a world-class concert pianist at the same time --- and humble to a fault.

They don't have anyone like Victor anymore. He was a musical genius.

He was an absolute genius. I’ve enjoyed watching his performances throughout the years.

As a musician you have absolutely no.idea how talented and fantastic a musician you have to be to pull this off . He might have been funny but fully accomplished musician is an understatement .

Victor was part of a world of such talented and polished performers and artists who had amazing discipline, knowledge and skill. They made it all look so effortless. My philosophy teacher said "a genius makes the complicated and difficult look simple ."

One of the most talented comedians of all time. His humour & talent are timeless

One of the funniest and most delightful men to ever lay fingers on the ivories. And a fine pianist he was, no joking.

This is an absolute masterclass on comic timing.

This performance is perfected even more once you realize that the curtain came down with such force it knocked the mic off its stand at 10:02. Splendid.

Growing up my father was a great fan of Victor Borge. I was living with my wife in Connecticut and invited my father and his girlfriend up from NYC. They were both in there late 60's. We purchased tickets, killing our budjet, for my fathers birthday to see Victor's performance at the then New Fairfield Playhouse. Halfway thru the performance they were both asleep snoring. We were mortified and worried he would see them and make them part of his show. In retrospect I wish he had!

This, ladies and gentlemen, is entertainment. Thank you.

I had forgotten about Victor....brings back memories of my Grandfather laughing out loud (which almost never happened) while watching this guy. I was young but I knew there was magic in this man's show.

Victor Borge was also hilariously funny when interviewed. I've seen video clips of him on the Tonight Show way back when Jack Paar was host and he had the audience absolutely roaring with laughter.

I remember listening to him on Dad's record player. 'Caught in the act,' was the name of the album. Even today he still one of my favourite comedy acts and puts a smile on my face.

I love this guy.Such a great sense of humor.First time I have heard him,what a piano player!¡!!

Simply one of the greatest entertainers of all time. Not only a musical and comic genius, but a true original. A unique and brilliant talent.

I loved him. He was part of my childhood and youth. Warm, gentle and deightfully mischievous in his humour. Greatly missed......

This skit had me crying!!! SO FUNNY!!! Simple, old-fashioned, clean humor. Made my night!

April 2024..... Victor Borge, a great artist, a beautyful soul!!! Rest in peace!

How does he get away with it? His enthusiasm for comedy, mixed with musical aplomb is so wonderful to watch. My sides ache with laughter & tears stream down my face with the sheer joy of being entertained by a professional musician. Thank you for sharing.

Saw Victor Borge in Orange Texas in the early 80’s I laughed and laughed. It was one of the best nights of my life .. at least we can still enjoy him through KZread!

Victor Borge has always been one of my favorite pianists and humorists. He has always had a rather unique outlook on life. He was probably the one person who could seriously get me to listen to classical music as well as opera, since he was hilarious and was entertaining to those of us who didn't really understand what all went into what we were listening to. I'm so sorry that he's gone.

I fully understand your admiration for this unique entertainer---who wouldn't be? but what intrigue's me is your following interest into Classical music. Victors comedic snippets down play the seriousness that diehard fans usually get snobbish about. I think his audiences flocked to see him bring down and mock operas and the classics.
