Ok...this is another one of those annoying audition posts. Sorry all, but at least this one's a little bit specialized.
For an upcoming audition I need to track down material suitable to a vaudville comic in 1923. Any suggestions?

Eddie Cantor's "Makin' Whoopee" comes to mind, even though is from the late 20s.

Posted: 5/5/13 at 10:35pm"You'd Be Surprised" by Irving Berlin, 1919. Although a lot of notable women have performed it (including a delicious performance by Madeline Kahn), it was initially performed by men. It's bawdy and fun.
