On the stageToo shy to ever appear on stage myself, I still hung around theatres like a bad smell when I was younger - lighting and set design were what I was good at.
Backstage we'd attempt to sabotage every production - us lighting geeks would wind up the sound man by putting the remote "pause" button for his reel-to-reel tape machine on his chair, so when he sat down it'd start running, ruining his cues. Actors would do scenes out of order to make our lives hell. It was great and I don't know why I don't still do it.
Tell us your stories of life on the stage.

Gang showA couple of years ago our scout group put on an entertainment evening for fund raising for the group.
A couple of lads from our section (ventures) were going to do the Spice Girls, i was Baby Spice which meant i had to put on my mums dress don a blonde wig and dance to this choreographed routine we had planned.
We were on late and by the time we had to come on stage i was absolutely bladdered, i thought it would be funny to wear no underwear under the dress. Things we swimmingly until the end when we were walking off the stage and i decided to pull a moony. In front of all my family and friends on stage. My mum still has it on tape somewhere and you can hear the wolf whistles in the background. I loved that night.
