Milo McCabe

McCabe’s Troy Hawke turns interaction into character comedy, greeting people through an elaborately polite, old-fashioned persona. The live shows extend beyond the familiar street videos, giving him time to develop compliments, misunderstandings and games around the people in the room. Sigmund Troy’d is a useful starting point for that stage version. Watch how the character’s unusual way of interpreting an answer creates the joke. The identity is invented, and the appeal comes from maintaining that perspective while responding to an unpredictable participant.
