What episode was this one

@@joshuareep2677 it wasn't in an episode, it was a live show

@@hotelmario510 ohhh ok thank you

Oof 😂

I think I saw that one

He’s wishing that bottle had actual licquer in it

He's the new John Cleese

Henry the person who plays Chris nails the role

That's very cool! If it was a genuine adlib, that audience member deserves a standing ovation :D

No, I don't think it is. Went to see a local version live a year or two ago, and it happened at the exact same time. Still hilarious.

@@gamernerddownunder Oh well haha, great script writing then!

@@gamernerddownunder It could be a genuine adlib that they then incorporated into the script.

@@DyslecticAttack Yes, that sort of thing happens. I remember reading that when Harry Secombe was rehearsing for a stage musical, he came down with laryngitis, so when he recovered, the producer recorded his singing so that if it happened again during the run of the show, he could mime his singing parts. Partway into the run, he came down with laryngitis again so at the start of the play they announced to the audience that he would be reciting his spoken lines but miming to a recording for the songs. Which was what he did, at first. By one of the later songs, Harry's sense of humour had got the better of him and he started hamming up by having a drink of water and stuffing a handkerchief into his mouth whilst still pretending to sing. The audience laughed so much that he did it every night until the end of the run! For years afterwards, people came up to him and said "I was at _____ Theatre the night you had laryngitis".....

Ironically, that was one of Captain Hook’s lines to the audience in the new Peter Pan tour 😅 everyone booed him at the start of act 2 and he said it, so similar context too I guess

“Idiots!”

Where is pe- oh there he is.

henry shields

@@rhiannamorgan136 he means henry lewis, at 0:29 after the joke in the intro about it being a panto as well

@@evilkk3029 Or his reaction to the first "Oh no, it isn't!" shout from the audaince.

wait which line did you say?

@@jaym5112 "D'you need a hand?"

@@KnightOfAwesometon Oh awesome! I totally thought it was a plant too

Pretty much my experience seeing The Play That Goes Wrong off-Broadway when we got to the ledger scene.

I saw the play at the Barrymore Theater in Broadway a few weeks ago in May. When this part came up. Chris targeted a little girl sitting at the front row and had her openly the Medicine bottle.

Well anything sounds really difficult when you describe it like that

And totally failing at it.

It's not uncommon to catch the cast holding back laughs, particularly in The Goes Wrong Show, but Jonathan Sayer (Dennis) is probably the worst for it. He's also one of the company directors and writes a lot for them. It's clear they all love what they do and have a great time with it though.

2:33 is that Henry shields trying to stifle a laugh too 😂

@@liberty1212 I think so 😆 Out of the Goes Wrong cast he seems to be one of the hardest ones to break, but I delight in the moments that he does 😆 One of my faves is in The Most Lamentable... episode where he and Dave Herne (Max) realise they are related and have alternating lines; Dave just gets more ridiculous and Henry Shields has no choice but to copy him. Dave is creased with laughter whilst Shields is fighting himself to get through the scene nor to burst out laughing mingled with mild annoyance (the take that made it to air was their third one, and most ridiculous).

@@lauraway706 there was also the one where max's blood tubing in a trial to watch finally works and sprays chris with a torrent of red liquid. at the start of the spray henry shields is visibly laughing as he is drenched, and you can also watch him fight to bring the enraged look he has as he wipes his eyes at the end. he manages it though!! i loved a trial to watch and the most lamentable, my favourite episodes actually!

Yep also saw it on Broadway. It was weird it wasn't a panto it a family show or something like that

Right?????? He looks (and sometimes acts) like a younger clone of him The way he shouts or says shut up is totally Cleese-like

I was thinking the same damn thing!

I am so glad I am not the only one who saw John cleese here!

I think it's been said by a lot of people, so hopefully Henry Shields does appreciate the compliment (:

@@JavertRAI read an interview with Shields where he said he thought people only compared him to Cleese because Chris is superficially similar to Basil Fawlty. I think he was being modest - Shields absolutely nails the type of silly character who doesn’t KNOW he’s being silly that Cleese plays so well.

Right? Every costume in the show is terrible but that one; it’s lovely.

@@heatherrockwell9012Chris WOULD give himself the best costume, wouldn’t he? (Compare that to his Mr. Darling costume, which looks like a cheap tux rental and uses the wrong kind of tie to boot.)

Dave Hearn as Vimes, Henry Lewis as Colon, Jonathan Sayer as Nobby, Nancy Zamit as Lady Sybil, Greg Tannahill as Carrot, and Henry Shields would have to be Vetenari?

@@abnunga Dave would be Carrot, Greg would be Vimes.

Bryony would be fantastic as Angua, and Charlie as Sally!

Peace to you. I’m glad you found some laughter. Depression is terrible. I hope you find healing … and more laughter.

When I saw it in April on Broadway, they did do the "He's behind you" and Chris shouted "You're supposed to let me find him organically!" And with the bottle bit, one woman screamed "Just bite it off!" and he just said "Shut up!"; that happened twice and the audience laughed both times

That «shaddap!!» did have a certain cleese-ish ring to it XD

Hahaha! Glad you're enjoying man. Good luck on the ACTs, those are brutal.

or even the mischief company

The actors said that was genuinely ad-libbed. So not in the script!

OH NO IT ISN’T

@@jackguerre OH YES IT IS!

Oh no it isnt!

@@rlacksgh9673 yes it is

OH YES IT IS !!

@@scotsmen21 OH NO IT ISN'T!!!

@@arkadye SHUT UP!!!!

@@TheRealConcertKing BOO!!

GET OUT GET OUT GET OUT

This is a good one kzfaq.info/get/bejne/payJlsd_sN28ppc.html but there are loads if u look, try searching full Pantomimes but try look for good ones and not amateur school plays 😉 👍🏻

There are a couple of pantomimes from ITV- Cinderella, Jack and the Beanstalk, Aladdin and Dick Whittington.

Snap snap

They kinda have a reverse dame, with Annie playing one of the male pirates xD

@@elsie8757 I did notice that. And, Peter Pan is traditionally played by a woman (or at least he is in the Broadway Musical version, don't know about the straight play). But neither of them is the top-banana comic of the show, as is the Dame typically. Instead, Hook is - although a big part of the gag in this case is that he doesn't intend to be funny, or want to, and becomes increasingly annoyed when people laugh, shout lines, and insist on treating his "serious play" as a panto.

@@Baribrotzer I guess _that's_ why there's no dame, because Chris is insistent that it isn't a panto xP

@@elsie8757 Yes it is..... .....etc.

@@Baribrotzer OH NO IT ISNT!

How would that fit
