YouTube is a wonderful resource for days when Walt is OOJ (Out Of Juice), like today... A little browsing invariably leads to something new and interesting/provoking/funny. Today YT gave us not only Mountain Bear (see previous post), but also the enormously talented Will Franken, who, frankly (geddit?) we hadn't heard of before.
Turns out Mr Franken (no relation to Al... we hope!) is not just a funny stand-up comic -- an oxymoron these days -- but also a fantastic impressionist. He switches back and forth between English and American (and other) accents effortlessly, as did the late great Peter Sellers, to the point where we couldn't be sure whether he's American or British. [He's a Brit. I looked it up. Ed.] Here's his set recorded in May at London's free-thinking comedy club, Comedy Unleashed. The devastating impressino of Greta Thunberg comes at about the 18-minute mark.
