  • to attend the world premiere of my next student film,

  • [movie trailer voice]: Avengers: Infinity War!

  • Which, for those of you who don't speak American accents,

  • is Avengers: Infinity War.

  • And seeing as, well, we'll be in LA at the same time,

  • it's the perfect opportunity for us to meet

  • for tea and delightful conversation.

  • "What will 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.

  • And go, actor.

  • I'm a little teapot, short and stout.

  • This is my handle, and this is my spout.

  • Tip me over and pour me out.”

  • Release,

  • and I'm back. Hi.

  • It'll be exactly like that.

  • But the best part of this is that every donation

  • and to win two, not one, but two tickets

  • to the premiere of Avengers: Infinity War,

  • click the link, or go to omaze.com/benedict.
