was just thinking about this guy i saw on a comedy program around 10 years ago.he was in new york (i think) and doing non verbal comedy .as an example,one thing he was doing was what appeared to be looking up at the sky.a small crowd gathered to see what he was looking at.
it ends up with him looking at his watch (and not the sky as people thought)
the other thing i remember was him getting into a taxi/then getting out of the other door (much to the bemusement of the cabbie 🙂
now i know it doesn't sound very funny,but when i saw this,i thought it was good/different.
anyone know who the guy might be?

Was it hidden camera stuff - in the manner of trigger happy TV? or where they comedy sketches?

Was it a US show? There was a franchised US version of trigger happy TV that Dom Jolly wasn't in, bar a few cameos.

theres a list of Hidden Camera shows [url= http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hidden_camera#Hidden_camera_shows ]here[/url] if that helps

The Jamie Kennedy Experiment perhaps? (actually probably not - thats a bit more Noel Edmunds)

I have a feeling both of those things were done by none other than Dennis Pennis? maybe wrong.

Dennis Pennis was a character that just took the piss out of celebrities... Paul Kaye as himself maybe?
