Years ago, I was in a show with a good friend, an older actor, who played a cantankerous millionaire who would walk around in a bathrobe griping about his many medical complaints.
We were doing a roadshow and this actor suited up and headed out to the conference room where we’d been hired to perform this mystery.
Unfortunately, he walked into the wrong conference room.
When we found him he was pacing through a room of astonished strangers (who HADN’T hired a murder mystery show and didn’t know what this guy was doing)…dressed in his bathrobe, raving about his painful anal stenosis.
Favorite story.

Hilarious! I’d forgotten that one! Reminds me of the time we sent the rookie actor playing his first victim bleeding and screaming into the wrong room – a dining room full of German tourists. They ran screaming from the restaurant to the bus, and as far as I can remember, never came back to finish their prime rib.
…also being fired was a big memory.
