I used to perform at Six Flags. I did one summer there while I was in college. We did this Top 40s review. It was like Britney Spears, Destiny’s Child, and I had a lot of the great lead female music songs. I had a wig and we were decked out in these futuristic clothes. And there was a scene where I kind of have to walk past the side of the stage where all these lights are and I do this head flip.

Of course, this one day I decided to not secure my wig down. So I do this head flip and this dance move and my wig flies off of my head over to the side and lands right on one of the lights. And it starts smoking. I look at the sound board and they had to cut to our track because I can’t not laugh right now; completely unprofessional, but whatever. The audience was filling in. We made fun of it, the whole situation. I’m literally on stage half dressed because I have my hair that’s pinned down and then this obnoxious wig that’s singeing on the side.

It’s really straight out of a sitcom, the characters and types of people there, but that was honestly the best job I think I’ve ever had. We had so much fun. It was always straight comedy.
