All the enlisted actors draw inspiration from classical physical comedy, incorporating its features in their performances. For instance, Conti, in “Nina Conti Live at Apollo,” uses Chaplin’s noticeable facial expressions when giving a mask to Louisa. Similar to Conti, Polunin and Irwin use Chaplin’s expressive emotions and body language to cause laughter in the audience. Finally, Keaton’s stone face became an inspiration for some of the Shiner’s performances in “Koozo.”
