So if anyone watched Sunday night's Bob Burgers on Fox, the diner decides to put on a murder mystery dinner show, to bad audience reviews, until a real life bandit comes in. Which made me remember some of the real life events that have taken place at some of our shows:
1. Of course, most recently, an engagement.
2. On the other hand, a couple splitting up.
3. An audience member being injured by kicking a table.
4. An audience member (or two, etc.) who had a little too much to drink (or something else) and you can imagine the rest.
5. An actor (or two, etc.) who changed the plot in the middle of the show by changing lines, not showing up, leaving the show, etc.
6. An audience member who decides to "tackle" the actor-killer.
7. An audience member who decides to "wrestle" with an actor-suspect.
8. A patron in another area of the venue hears our stage gunshots and calls the police.
9. The venue ran out of food.
10. And of course, the inevitable actor "hooking up" later with an audience member or a fellow cast member (to date, none of these relationships have ever worked out but they have led to interesting situations).
I am sure there are more. In the early days of The Killing Kompany, an actor Jeffrey Spolan would blog "The Killing Kompany Diary" and relate some of the more amusing stories of the shows. Some of these can still be found on the web.
