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

Poetry recital
For some reason I suffered a massive anxiety attack but going on stage (in front of an audience of about sixty people). I had mainly memorised my poem, but thoughtfully brought a piece of paper with it the poem written on. A good job really because my mind suddenly froze and I experienced utter retardation of the brain.
Luckily I flipped the paper over and started reciting the words, but then my hand started shaking, making it look like I was flapping the paper around - and then suddenly my vocal chords began failing me - My beautiful poem was suddenly nothing more than a gargled shriek complete with impromptu twitching, although I did continue to the very end, barely stopping for breath and left the stage red faced.
Not cool.

It was probably a dreadful poem, so it was all for the best really.
