Rainer Hersch's Victor Borge

Victor Borge was a brilliant pianist, virtuoso comedian and, at one point, the highest paid entertainer in the world. He passed away in his sleep on December 23rd 2000 aged 91. In 'Rainer Hersch's Victor Borge' the Great Dane's hilarious act has been lovingly re-imagined for the 21st century by his natural successor, Rainer Hersch. On stage Rainer plays the role of both Borge and himself as he tells the stories of both men with charm and humour. This intriguing production was a total sell out at the Assembly Rooms in the 2004 Edinburgh Fringe Festival under the title 'Borge Again!'

“It's hard to imagine that if the great Victor Borge himself had taken the stage, he would be more entertaining than Rainer Hersch's tear-streamingly funny tribute.” - The Scotsman.
