So we are currently doing shows at the USS Nightmare in Newport, KY. We are doing a carnival style tent show (grind show) with a Halloween twist. And today about 4 shows into the night, I made a kid pee his pants doing blockhead. I really felt bad for the kid, but I wasn't quite sure what to do, so on the show went acting like it never happened.

In 2004 I was working a haunt where we kept count of how many "wet ones" we had going out the gate each night. It's one way you can tell you're doing a good job.
Keep driving that point home... well done, Steve |

Good for you...at least he can say that he got his money's worth. I have had a girl actually pass out during a blockhead routine and another vomit. But, the best was when I was opening for a band Good Charlotte and out of a crowd of about 8000 I had about 30 or 40 people in the front of the stage pass out during my pin cushion act, it is the best compliment you can ever be given as a worker.

A friend was at Mac Kings show in Vegas.
Apparently a kid helper he had peed his pants on stage. Mac promptly rewarded the kid a T-shirt, sort of tying it around his waist, and much of the audience was non-the-wiser. I thought that was very cool! Keith

5 years ago I was doing the Philly Fringe Festival. I do my usual intro, putting jewelry in, making campy jokes, etc. As soon as I pulled out my props and dropped them on the stage floor with a loud thud and ENTIRE table of about 6 or 7 people simply got up and walked out. Bennie complimented me on being able to puul off such a "walking ovation".

I was doing my Feejee Mermaid Show at a fair in 2004 when a teenage walked out of the tent, bent over, and threw up. I consider that a flowing ovation. My show is the best!

I had an ambulance collect an OAP after my bullet catch at a Lyons charity performance 3 years ago ( apparently she held her breath for far too long ), I wasnt particularly proud of that accolade.
