    I've been the sleeper many times at the theatre, I'm narcoleptic. Dark theatre it just gets the nap juices going. I no longer accept any invitations for classical music performances, for me it always turns into an expensive nap 😄. I have to laugh about it otherwise I'd just cry but I always feel quite guilty I love stand up and the theatre in general.

    Some theatres do performances that are "family friendly" or "special needs friendly" in which they don't dim the lights. Perhaps you could enjoy theatre without napping that way. I love theatre too. To be in your situation, it must suck.

I think she made it on to the DVD. I loved hearing that x

I've watched all of your DVDs since and loved every minute of them. I think my favorite bit was the story you told about the poem from your ex-husband. It was so touching.

    Feb 23 and I’m just now watching. When I was an undergrad, I worked 6 days per week, about 50 hours and took 3 university classes. I was always exhausted. That being said, I do t think I’d sleep during these hilarious videos. I did however go to sleep during a Dallas Cowboys game during that time. Got my picture in the company magazine for sleeping during the game in the stadium and wasting the companies money that they’d paid for the ticket.

I'd never want to be that one audiance member laughing, but pretending to be asleep along with an entire crowd is an absolutely wild gag. You've literally written your own comedic story to tell at future events and it's just so glory as it keeps going! It'll be bloody hard to top! But a comedic genius like you will probably give something fun to wind up and tease audiance with in future - great show!
