Have you ever - voluntarily or otherwise - appeared in front of an audience? How badly did it go?

Quantity over quality
The TV company I used to work for was doing a doco on a new genetic research centre with a visitor attraction. I was asked to be the crew's runner (lackey) for a day when they were filming in the visitor centre.

They had installed a state of the art motion theatre (like those roller coaster / rally car simulators at the fair and we were to get shots of it during a test run so yours truly got to sit in shot to fill an empty seat. The cameraman asked the operator to max the seat movements so they were obvious on screen and the chairs began to really throw up around.

I hoped it would be cut in the edit, but no there was muggins looking gormless for about ten seconds in the broadcast program.

Shit performance. Check.
Crowd? About 0.7 MILLION viewers.

Beat that.

I beg to differ
I was 'acting' the part of a fun-having visitor. I was being paid for my time. I had to sign an appearance waiver. That qualifies as a performance in my book.

Was the qotw delayed for installing tenuousity rules?

Centre for life, per chance?
