Comedian David Armand performed a hilarious mime to Queen’s “Don’t Stop Me Now” for contestants (wearing noise-muting headphones) who have to try and guess the song.
David Armand (born David Whitehead in September 1977)[1] is an English comedian, actor and writer who has performed on stage, film, radio and most notably, television, where the shows he has appeared in include Fast and Loose, Episodes, How Not to Live Your Life, Pulling, The Armstrong & Miller Show, Swinging, and Peep Show.
He is one of the writers and stars of the hit CBBC comedy shows Sorry, I’ve Got No Head, and Pixelface. He has also written for shows such as The Peter Serafinowicz Show and Katy Brand’s Big Ass Show.
He is well known for his mime style interpretive dance of Natalie Imbruglia’s “Torn” (in character as “Austrian interpretive dance artist Johann Lippowitz”). A 2005 performance was broadcast by HBO Comedy and subsequently spread through the Internet.
The performance is often incorrectly labelled as “Karaoke for the Deaf”.He performed his famous dance on stage live with Natalie Imbruglia at the 2006 Secret Policeman’s Ball for Amnesty International. The performance started with Armand dancing with Imbruglia singing live vocals backstage, then on-stage, and concluded with Imbruglia performing Armand’s dance moves alongside him.
In 2011 he appeared on BBC2’s improv show Fast and Loose, where he performed an interpretive dance routine to a different song each week. Two cast members had to guess the song title based on his routine.
This is a clip from that show where he performed a hilarious rendition of ‘Don’t stop me now’.
