| Description: | ECCENTRICITY Funny act by comedian "Chaz" - india rubber dancing and eating cigarettes etc. United Kingdom Comedian in baggy clothes blowing smoke. He wears top hat and tails, saggy trousers with the crotch hanging almost to his knees, a fake shirt front which hangs over the front of his vest. Then he does a rubbery dance, wiggles the fake shirt front back and forth, prances round the stage in a silly walk. etc. etc. Chazz starts walking around and around the stage and seems to shrink as he walks! The tails of his jacket are hanging almost to the floor! He finally ends up squatting facing upstage. Then he slowly rises and rises and rises until he looks not only his normal height again but taller! He turns to reveal the trick - he's pulling the collar of his jacket up above his head, and holding the hat on top. MS Chazz lights cigarette, turns it around w/ the lighted end in his mouth and lights the other end. He holds it in his mouth sideways, blowing smoke out of both ends. I'm not sure what happens to the cigarette- -maybe he eats it! But next he starts sticking lighted matches into his mouth. MCU same. MS for dessert he eats the fake shirt front | |
