When we started talking to him after the show, and he spoke with a Canadian accent, I did a huge double take. I also thought it was interesting that he was so cavalier about dropping his disguise -- we talked to him as he was packing up his gear, and much of the audience was still mulling around. He said he's been called out a few times by Brits, but more often than not he gets away with the schtick. As a Stupid North American, I was totally fooled.

I wonder if any Brits will come along and weigh in :-) Great stuff, by the way. He's really a character. So, my question is: how convincing is his accent?
