Dance: late to the mime party

[nahara]

Second random dance themed post this week. New record . . . ?

Saw this guy on the BBC a few weeks back and coughed up a lung laughing. Turns out he's be around ages doing this awesome interpretive mime dancing to pop songs. WHY DID NOBODY TELL ME THIS GUY EXISTED???????

...oh, good god, he's funny. I'm a big fan of stand-up comedy with clever musical/physical elements <3

[nahara]

Hahaha, so do I!

I mean, what's not to love about these guys for instance:

It's like a double whammy - they're funny and they can play musical instruments. *______*

You mean YouTube will not let you view the joy that is Stephen Lynch?!

*clicks links curiously*

[nahara]

Hahaha, no, I can see Stephen Lynch if I search for him on YouTube. I was referring to the fact that the videos I embedded to my original comment to you ARE NOT SHOWING UP. ;_____;

I'm watching the classic Bill Bailey joy right now, if it makes you feel any better <3

[nahara]

Makes me feel tons better! And yay, I'd never seen Stephen Lynch before, I thought you meant Tim Minchin (IDEK): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e6raVzrbqrM

Thanks for introducing me to Stephen Lynch! :D

[irisbleufic]

I was introduced to Stephen Lynch when I was about 15 or 16 by the lovely girl who's probably still my best friend in the world, even another 15/16 years later.

Oh, I love Tim Minchin. And as much as he makes me laugh, he can also make me tear up with how genuine the emotion in some of his songs is (well, actually just with "White Wine in the Sun" so far).

[irisbleufic]

...and I had never heard of Axis of Awesome before. That cracked me up!

[nahara]

Yay! I could introduce you to something new! I call that a win. ;)

(I'm just sitting here LOL'ing at Stephen Lynch... *wipes eyes*)

I HAVE ALSO DECIDED TO FRIEND YOU. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. :)

[irisbleufic]

I HAVE DECIDED TO FRIEND YOU BACK. SO THERE :-D

(I'm so glad you like Stephen Lynch. He's hysterically funny.)
