Wind and Wuthering . . . . . .

 The wonderful picture resource Drama Doll posted this and it reminded me I had never seen anything so funny in all my life and it does of course remind me of what a truly dreadful caterwauling voice she had!

I know stinker ain’t I but the poor gal can’t sing to save her life!
Truly histrionic overly theatrical mime and Lindsay Kemp/Marcel Marceau school of dance trope gone quite quite bonkers . . 

HYSTERICAL!

Yeah, he's not well known here in America, but we used to watch The Mighty Boosh on cable here. What I like is that he really puts EFFORT into the Wuthering Heights dance, it's not just a sloppy piss-take, and at the same time, gently mocks the moves. It's not mean-spirited, like so much of what passes for humor today. Plus, he's right; even here in California I'm pretty sure that fairies have a "posh" accent. :)

Brilliant! Fascinating insights draftervoi, he is almost a national figure here by now, at once odd and left of field humour bit like owning a pet bat! His cameos in things like The IT Crowd here and even compering baking shows are legendary. We love him! V funny. Boosh fans abound!😍
