Okay, so in another forum thread someone mentioned saying lines in the car and getting some interesting reactions from fellow commuters. This reminded me of the time I was belting out one of my songs from a show while sat at the lights waiting for a train to pass, completely oblivious to the fact that my window was wide open. The applause that greeted me as my voice faded from the big finish note kind of jarred me back into reality and the girls in the car next to me disolved into fits of giggles as I sheepishly looked to my right and said thank you.

I'm sure we've all had moments like this - where something theatre related has lead to an "amusing anecdote" while on the road to or from the theatre. I thought it would be nice to share these little stories with each other - I'm sure we can all relate :)

My other half can do a wicked Irish and Scotish accent and loves to use them to embarrass me. While doing the shopping one day he decided to start up a conversation with me about tinned tomatoes that quickly escalated into an argument in his Scotish accent. He decided to continue the argument as we walked past the breakfast cereal... yeah!.. o.k so that isn't the way you make porridge...gees!.. Another time was when he was feeling like using his Irish accent while in a bank. He went to make a deposit and walked up to the teller and spoke in his Irish accent, but low and behold the teller was Irish. She asked him which part of Ireland he was from and how long he had been in Australia. He tried to play it to the end but had to confess after 10 minutes of conversation that he wasn't Irish. The look he got said it all, she wasn't too pleased.
