All of my fails were stuff like sound cues not coming on time, or a cherrypicker deciding to stop working with an actor trapped on it. Oh, and then there was the time an idiot audience member POURED BEER in our digital sound board when he poked his head through a window he shouldn't have. That board started smoking and sparking, and that's the only time I've ever had a show called.
