Throwback Thursday Comedy Special: Sid Caesar Pantomimes Grieg's Piano Concerto
Today we're going back 61 years to May 25, 1957, when Sid Caesar performed in pantomime on Caesar's Hour. The subject was a pianist struggling to play Grieg's Piano Concerto. And in mock playing for almost six minutes, he manages to produce laughs all along the way.
Sid's performance is reminiscent of similar ones by Victor Borge, but Sid adds his unique comic touch to every note.
Enjoy!
