Get ready to be entertained with this comedian David Armand performing a hilarious mime to Queen’s “Don’t stop me now”.
Born David Whitehead in September 1977, he is an English comedian, actor and writer who has performed on stage, film, radio and television.
Armand has appeared in Fast and Loose, Episodes, How Not to Live Your Life, Pulling, The Armstrong & Miller Show, Swinging, and Peep Show.
So there he is ready to entertain while the contestants, who are wearing noise-muting headphones, have to try and guess the song.
You could argue that this is more of an interpretative dance but whatever you want to call it, Armand is brilliant.
If you are familiar with the song, then you know just how uptempo and upbeat it is.
So for Armand to keep up with every single word, which he acts out, is nothing short of impressive.
And of course, downright hilarious.
Freddie Mercury, former legendary frontman of Queen, did say, “You can do what you want with my music, but don’t make me boring”.
Looks like Armand had that in mind.
This is from the show “Fast and Loose” which was on BBC Two.
Armand’s creative mind was on overdrive here, keeping up with Queen’s beloved hit, with his ears on Mercury’s every word.
The contestants, Pippa and Ruth, started off with confused but inquisitive looks on their faces.
But Armand pushes on, displaying to everyone what a brilliant and creative mind he has.
His moves are literally the literal definition of each word Mercury sings.
That’s not easy to do.
It’s normally fun to sing along to any Queen song but Armand makes it difficult to do so as he’ll have you laughing with his antics.
This viewer agrees saying,
“This guy is AMAZING. I’ve watched all of the videos and I need more. The game is fantastic and he is unbelievable. Absolutely loved it.”
Pippa and Ruth are smiling now, no doubt already having the song in mind somehow.
And it’s not just the actions, since Armand delivers with really funny facial expressions to go along with his moves.
“Don’t stop me now” was song was written by Freddie Mercury during the band’s sessions for Jazz.
Queen felt they were “getting better at having a good time” and the lyrics reflect this aspect.
And so does Armand who has the audience chuckling at every movement he delivers.
Another viewer was so impressed,
“The most surprising thing for me is that he managed to keep a straight and serious face while doing all those funny moves. Just one figure and I’d already be cringing at myself lol.”
Armand is downright entertaining.
Pippa and Ruth do guess the answer correctly, that’s after Armand finishes with the audience giving him a standing ovation.
The man looked exhausted!
Armand is a true treasure of comedy and we hope we see more of him soon.
Get ready for one of the most unique and hilarious auditions you’ll ever see!
