'What is it?' Sofia, 52, asked after their performance left everyone howling with laughter. 'Is it like a dance or a puppet or a transformation, quick changing? I don't know, I'm very confused because I thought it was ridiculous. It's nonsense. I don't know what it is. But I really, really think that you deserve this.'
