1465. If I Were Not Upon This Stage - (members of) Wagga City Rugby Choir

This humorous pantomime sketch is apparently popular in the Boy Scouts movement. It is performed here by members of the Wagga City Rugby Choir at an "afterglow" following a wonderful concert by the Male Choirs Association of Australia at the Dallas Brooks Centre in East Melbourne on 17th November 2012.
Just as well these guys were still sober at this stage of the evening or it could have got quite messy!

First time I've heard this, though I've found a few other videos of it on CZcams since I put it up.

Oh it's a golden oldie over here. You get a lot of variants of it - McCartney did a little bit of it on a live album as a faux beginning to Hey Jude. It also got used in a Monty Python sketch.

They were having a lot of fun anyway!

I probably saw the Monty Python sketch but have forgotten about it. I'm sure I've seen all their shows.

I bet that takes a lot of rehearsal! That was hilarious... Thanks for posting.

You're welcome, Max. And here are some seats to the main event - a bit further back though!

There I am in the second row behind the piano. I hope you brought your binoculars.
