Although sometimes compared to Victor Borge, Mark Nadler, performing at the Wilson Center on Sept. 28 & 29, admits in an article written for BroadwayWorld.com that his inspiration comes from a completely different famous persona.

How do you feel about being labeled “a young Victor Borge”?
"I’m not really. People say that because I’m playing semi-classical music and falling off the piano bench. Victor Borge and I are in fact diametrically opposed. Victor Borge’s whole performance persona was this refined, sophisticated man who was teasing you all the time, and he didn’t really reveal anything about himself, whereas I’m completely open-hearted and open-throated. I think that we’re not very much alike at all except that we both do physical tricks at the piano. I think I’m much more like Bugs Bunny. I had never seen Victor Borge perform, [but] everything that I do, all that physical stuff, was based on Bugs Bunny cartoons. And a little bit on Chico Marx."
