Comic number for tenor

Hello, luvvies!

I have a gig approaching and I'm looking for a fun, comic number. I'm pretty much your standard tenor. ...I'm going COMPLETELY brain dead and can't seem to think of anything, but I'd like to sing something I can sink my teeth into in terms of character -- something to break the monotony of ballads and the like (it's for an annual benefit concert/cabaret and most of the solos are typically ballads). For reference, the songs I've sung in the previous cabarets have been:

Beat My Dog (in Audra's original key)
Nothing Like You've Ever Known (Song & Dance)
Taylor The Latte Boy
I'd Rather Be Sailing (A New Brain)

I'd love to find a song to REALLY have fun with. HELP! PLEASE HELP!

(Look up Rigazzi on YouTube and you'll find my performances of the songs listed above, as a reference. Keep all scathing comments about my performances to yourselves... hehehehe...)

Thoughts????

'Great Big Stuff' from Dirty Rotten Scoundrels could be very funny.

Granted, it's not so much of a showing of your voice song, as just a comedic number.

THANKS! And I'm actually not too concerned with a "showing off my voice" type of song. I'd rather have a fun character number than a big-ol' warbler. SO that might be a really fun choice!

This is a little more baritone than tenor, but Gesticulate from Kismet is a really fun song that you can hit some great notes on near the end.

Did you see Michael Ball as Count Fosco in THE WOMAN IN WHITE? He did a showstopping comedic number called "You Can Get Away With Anything", complete with costume, makeup, moustache, wig, fat suit, and melodramatic gestures re: Comic number for tenor

You can hear Michael Crawford's version on the London cast recording.
