A typical performance would start, not with the opening bars of a classical composition, but with a minute inspection of the piano from all angles Musicians look and act absolutely ridiculous Victor Borge Pages of sheet music would get mixed up, hair and clothing would be checked and then the pianist would turn on the audience and scold imaginary latecomers. It was Borge's opinion that the conventions and trappings of classical music were intrinsically hilarious. Borge combined virtuoso playing and a sharp wit "Look at a symphony concert on TV and turn off the sound. If you have the slightest sense of humour, you will laugh yourself silly - the musicians look and act absolutely ridiculous."

The 2 funniest comedian-musicians of the 20th century were Victor Borge and Danny Kaye. Whereas the former relied heavily on understatementteasing the viewer with the expectation of a performance that never seems to unfold, the latter was so free in sharing his prodigious talent that he risked being taken for granted. The common denominator between the two entertainers was a love of language, a penchant for word play and a delight in exposing the inconsistencies of the grammatical-semantic properties of English. Borge is at his best when he applies his facility with languages to the language of music. But comedy "in" music as opposed to comedy "about" music requires a relatively sophisticated, knowledgeable audience. As time went on, Borge relied more and more on visual humor, slapstick and "dumb" jokes, as is documented by this video recording of a concert late in his career in Minneapolis. And as dumb as it frequently can be, the humor succeeds because of Borge's persona. We know he's a polished, graceful pianist, that he has intellectual pedigree, and we sense an air of aristocratic gentility not to mention cosmopolitan urbanity. Consequently, if he can reduce himself to some of this material, we sense that we're "released" to enjoy it fully even if occasionally "in spite of ourselves"

Performers to reveal serious side of Victor Borge at Shoah event JOE ESKENAZI Bulletin Staff Victor Borge's onstage antics included self-tangling sheet music, impromptu appearances from dogs and insects, more pratfalls than a Three Stooges marathon and upside-down piano playing (the sheet music, not Victor). Borge's speech has been converted into "The Legend," a short, musical play that is vintage Borge minus the pratfalls. "It's very much in Victor Borge's style, not that there's falling on the floor or playing a crazy piano. But he played a lot with words," said Danish-born actress and musician Ditte Hofman, who has been performing "The Legend" for several years, along with violinist Heide-Marie Goertzen. The two will present the 20-minute musical soliloquy Monday evening at Berkeley's Congregation Beth El as part of the congregation's Yom HaShoah observance. Admission is free. "Since he wrote it, of course there's humor, but it's also very dramatic and serious," said Hofman, who is now based in New York. "It's about heroes and helping people in need even though you're risking your own life." Hofman was first offered the chance to perform "The Legend" by Borge himself back in 2000. After his death on Dec. 23 of that year, just days shy of his 92nd birthday, the Thanks to Scandinavia organization the pianist co-founded asked Hofman to perform the piece at a tribute to Borge.

58. Victor Borge Plays To Empty Seats, By Seth Rogovoy By assuming the guise of a concert pianist who would much rather gab than play Ifyou would like to purchase any of victor borge CDs online, please click on http://www.berkshireweb.com/rogovoy/concerts/borge.html

Victor Borge plays to empty seats by Seth Rogovoy LENOX, Mass., July 28, 1996 Give the 87-year-old Victor Borge credit for not playing things totally by the book. At his performance at the National Music Center on Saturday night, the piano-playing comedian made frequent humorous reference to the sparse crowd in attendance. "Had I known we were going to be this few, we could have gone to my hotel room," said Borge, garnering one of his biggest laughs of the night. In a bit of pre-show drama, promoter Richard Nader invited those who did show but who were mostly seated toward the rear of the hall to move forward and fill in the row after row of seats that sat empty toward the front of the auditorium. There were apparently few takers for the $100 seats; it's not clear how those few who did spring top bucks for the show ultimately felt about rubbing elbows with the hoi polloi. In any case, Borge was a good sport about it, joking about how he peeked out from backstage before the show and saw nothing but red- suited people in the front rows (the seats are red). Presumably if it hadn't been this, it would have been some other theme about the venue Borge would have riffed on in order to add some freshness to a show that otherwise was wearingly familiar and routine. In some sense, Borge's comedy is as up-to-date and cutting-edge as Steven Wright's. It's a slow, conceptual type of comedy that relies more on cognitive leaps of faith than rib-tickling joke-telling, although there was a bit of that, too. At one point he even played games with the shadow cast by the spotlight on the black backdrop an eerie echo of something Wright himself did at this very venue a few years back.
