I'm kinda man-crushing on Matt Berry lately; like, in every way. In the grand scheme of things, I've really just discovered him. I think he's best known now in the States for the TV version of What We Do In the Shadows which just wrapped it's run. And he is wonderful as the vampire Laszlo Cravensworth. But I've only just discovered his earlier work; in particular Toast of London, where he plays the title character "Steven Toast." The show even has musical numbers composed by Mr. Berry. Toast is a classic British actor and the show follows his highly theatrical antics in and around London. And I have to say, not a lot makes me laugh out loud; but he sure does. Here's a glimpse of Toast in action, at a star-studded London charity show, doing "The Sand Dance." And then there was the time Toast hit his head and developed a man-crush on Jon Hamm. It was a half hour of sheer delight! OMG, Saturday Night Live, please get this comic genius to host...and if you can get Hamm on there with him, I think we can all just call it a night and go to heaven.
