Mr. Bean on Music

[KE Peace]

I think I've posted the drums sketch before; here are Rowan Atkinson's three music sketches... the first as Mr. Bean; the second two as himself doing standup -- very well done, and very funny!

Hope you like them :-)

Those are great! Rowan has to be a pretty decent musician to pull this stuff off.

In the Mr. Bean Christmas episode, he conducts a brass band which is hilarious. Don't know if you ever saw that one.

that first one was from the Christmas episode... yes, i agree, one couldn't do the piano and drum skits without quite a degree of musicality.. Rowan Atkinson, I heard, was an engineer by trade. Not surprising. He even looks like one %--K ;-)
