I'm sure all of you are familiar with Mr. Bean played by Rowan Atkinson, however you may not be familiar with this little bit of stand-up comedy he has done in this video. It is pretty much just as it sounds, Mr. Bean finding an invisible drum set and the hilarity that ensues. Now you may think that this is not a hard feat to pull of, but I think that few could do what Rowan is doing here. First of all, you have to always give off the impression of being oblivious while knowing exactly what to do next, such as the entire drum beats that he had to memorize to make this act believable. While it may seem like the simplest thing in the world, a fair amount of rehearsing must go into making this act effective. Certainly the sound guys must stay on their feet in order to keep up with Rowan's erratic talent. This just goes to show you that even while you are watching someone fool around on stage, there is a good amount of design that has been involved and is currently involved in what you are witnessing.
