Watch Benedict Cumberbatch's dramatic performance of nursery poem for charity

How would it feel to have tea with Benedict Cumberbatch before the premiere of Avengers: Infinity War? Well, Sherlock actor explained it with a dramatic performance of a nursery rhyme.

The classically trained actor is part of a new Omaze campaign to support the GEANCO foundation that focuses on education and health in Nigeria. In the video for donation appeal, Cumberbatch explains, "Their mission is to save and transform the lives of the poor and vulnerable in Africa and they're a charity very dear to my heart."

According to EOnline, donating more gives fans additional entries and unlocks exclusive merchandise: $10 unlocks 100 entries, $25 unlocks 250 entries, and so on. 

So to convince, Cumberbatch says, "'What would it be like to have tea with an actor?' you ask. Well, I've prepared a short monologue for you that should make things quite clear."

Then begins the Shakespearean performance of 'I'm a Little Teapot'. Cumberbatch goes a step ahead and puts a hand on hip for the handle and also makes a spout!

Make sure you watch the entire video to see Cumberbatch's hilarious vocal warm-ups that also take a dig at those who mess with his name. At first we have 'Benedict Cumberbatch met feminist lumberjack' and then we get 'Benedict Cumberbatch broke a delicate luggage rack.'

The grand prize winner will be flown to Los Angeles for the premier. They can bring a plus one. They will be put up in a 4-star hotel, have tea with Doctor Strange star, and attend the Avengers: Infinity War premiere.
