Victor Borge
Borge used physical and visual elements in his live and televised performances. He would play a strange-sounding
piano tune from sheet music, looking increasingly confused; turning the sheet upside down, he would then play the
actual tune, flashing a joyful smile of accomplishment to the audience (he had, at first, been literally playing the
actual tune upside down). When his energetic playing of another song would cause him to fall off the piano bench,
he would open the seat lid, take out the two ends of an automotive seat belt, and buckle himself onto the bench,
"for safety." Conducting an orchestra, he might stop and order a violinist who had played a sour note to get off the
stage, then resume the performance and have the other members of the section move up to fill the empty seat
while they were still playing. From off stage would come the sound of a gunshot.
