The best performers can make light of any situation.

Their ability to turn a negative into a positive is what sets them apart. As a showman, you must be able to improvise at the drop of a hat—and that’s exactly what this classical violinist does.

After someone in the audience lets their Nokia ringtone interrupt the show, he proceeds to play the ringtone on his violin and has the crowd bursting at the seams with laughter.

Lukáš Kmit is interrupted during this classical performance, but his surprising reaction gave people all over a good laugh.

In the funny video, serious classical violin player, Lukáš Kmit, shows us his sense of humor after he is rudely interrupted by a cellphone ringing. At the beginning of the video, Lukáš is playing a gorgeous piece for a focused audience that’s completely silent. It’s going off without a hitch when an unexpected sound echoes through the venue.

Just over 40 seconds into the video, you hear a sound that most of us have heard before.

It’s the classic Nokia ringtone, as someone forgot to put their phone on silent. At first, it looks as if the musician is very upset. He looks at the crowd with a straight face, scanning for the person who lets their phone go off.

Suddenly, the Nokia ringtone goes off a second time and he decides he has to make the best out of the annoying interruption. What he does next leaves everyone giggling. Kudos to him for not letting it rain on his parade!

The excellent violinist knows exactly what to do.

He lifts his eyebrows as he starts actually playing the ringtone on his instrument. When the ringtone disrupts the performance, he stops before making a comical gesture with his eyebrows and playing a barrage of notes that mimic the sound of the phone to a tee. Lukáš repeatedly plays the ringtone on his violin, even throwing in his own twist on the common ringtone.

Without losing any momentum, Lukáš wows the music lovers with a piece that they’ll likely never hear again. He smiles while playing the Nokia ringtone, before shrugging his shoulders as if to say “no problem.”

People can’t contain their laughter, and the music hall vibrates with the deep-bellied chuckles of all the onlookers.

Lukáš does a wonderful job of keeping the crowd on their toes instead of letting the ringtone ruin the show.

Many people wouldn’t have the wherewithal to keep the show alive and thriving after such an abrupt interruption. This will seriously have you laughing out loud—and you may just rewatch it several times like we did.
