What is the funniest thing ever to happen to you?I was performing a song in a play I was in that was a solo. Right before the song I had a monologue. I bumped my nose by accident and it began to bleed. The song started playing and I tried to wipe it away. The blood kept coming. I continued to sing hoping the blood would stop. Further into the song the blood started coming out faster. I caught a large amount of blood coming out of my nose and showed it to the audience. My hand was dripping while I was singing. I wiped it on the back of my leg. In the middle of song my character professes his love for another character. Instead of the scripted speech I said “I love you so much I’m getting a nose bleed!” The audience erupted in laughter. I squeezed my nose to temporarily stop the bleeding. I belted out the rest of the song, singing it the best I ever had. The theatre was not the biggest I had performed in but the applause was deafening. The next scene needed to be delayed because of the applause. After the fact we all had some good laughs about it.
