I reckon I'll stick with Victor Borge and Chico Marx. Oscar Levant and Steve Allen deserve a mention, too, even if they were perhaps at their funniest when away from the piano.

Steven Borge, Marx, and Allen were primarily comedians who happened to be terrific pianists. I don't think Levant was humorous during his straight classical performances.

i went to a recital of a young friend of mine.. he's off to college and may major in organ, physics or piano.. quite a talented kid.
anyway, he was playing his first piece - a Brahms, and someone's cell phone went off.
he turned and went HELLOOOOOOO -sounding like the the guy with the five o clock shadow on the Simpsons.
quite funny since he is such a real fuddy-dud serious kid.
accompanist/organist.. a non-MTNA teacher to a few
love and peace, Õun (apple in Estonian)
