Funny Car Stories - Just for fun :)

Many years ago I was appearing in a musical set in 18th C New Orleans (I think). I was playing the villain and my Act 2 costume was a beautiful green brocade frock coat suit complete with britches lace jabot buckle shoes silk stockings and a wig. As the curtain came down a lens shattered in the rig and a large piece of glass hit my neighbour in the face cutting it quite badly. To cut a long story short there we were heading for the local hospital. The car was driven by a woman wearing an evening dress with the most amazing decolletage, a high wig and full stage makeup. I was in the back still in full costume attempting to staunch the wound with the contents of a barely adequate first aid kit. The injured party was wearing an 18th Century soldiers outfit with blood running down his face. I simply cannot remember why none of the crew or FOH staff were doing this. Anyway. The driver was speeding and we were pulled over by a police motor cyclist. The driver explained the injury and the cop escorted us to the hospital where, after the victim had been taken in, he demanded an explanation for the costumes. The hospital staff didn't bat an eyelid as far as they were concerned it was just another day in casualty. Is that all there is? Well if that's all there is my friend, then let's keep dancing. www.tonymoore.id.au
