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.

For a narcoleptic to fall asleep during a performance is a complement to how stimulating it was.

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 went to see Alan Carr and heard a woman talking about the last time she was in the same place, she was at Sarah Millican and she was a nurse coming from a 12 hour shift but didn't want to have a kip in case she missed it and ended up sleeping through it. I think she made it on to the DVD. I loved hearing that x

Ah ha! Now it makes sense. Your last DVD was the first one I saw, and I remember seeing you "asleep" in the audience and thinking, WTF? It was so random, but it was hilarious. 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. Looking forward to your next DVD. ❤

Oh that is brilliant - this is the sort of thing that would make me want to go see you live! 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!

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.
