Rowan Atkinson dusts off an old comedy routine

On Stephen Colbert's talk show

Rowan Atkinson dusted off a wordless old comedy routine when he appeared on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert last night, The comic performed a bit he used to do while a student at Oxford – a piece that caught the attention of fellow undergraduate Richard Curtis. Just using a pieces of paper, he jabbers nonsense, getting laughs from his exaggerated facial expressions. 'What a load of rubbish,' Atkinson said self-deprecatingly after the segment. Atkinson was on the US talk show to promote the American release of Johnny English Strikes Again.
