I was in the audience at Northampton Derngate around 2012. Derren was doing a part of the show where he asked everyone to stand up and then played a very intense sound that was meant to put you in a trance. Derren instructed us to remain standing unless you felt conscious and not in a trance like state. It didn’t work for me so i sat down. The guy next to me, however, was clearly feeling it and remained standing with his eyes closed....

also was rocking a massive boner whilst being unaware. Awkward, particularly when sat down next to it at eye level!

He shouldn't bring up the vomiting. I apologised at the time.

I went to see Les Mis at the Palace Theatre so many times in the early 90s and he is SO right. We were students at the time and could only afford standby tickets which were invariably up in The Gods. How the hell people didn’t fall down from there night after night is a miracle. There’s absolutely no way I’d have the balls to sit up there these days. I’d be cacking myself the whole time 😱

As a fellow performer I think these stories are priceless! Thanks for sharing Mr Brown.

I remember thinking the same when I went to the Palace Theatre, how scarily steep the upper balconies were where I was sat, how easy it would be to fall from there, and wondering if many theatres are like that

I remember the guy falling being in the papers. It was the show after the one hubby and I went to see and I said to hubby “god it’s steep up here id be worried id fall over that railing” then it was in the paper the next day. *shivers*

[JulieKernit]

Why the HELL didn't they call for a doctor for both the poor guy who couldn't stop vomiting and the poor person who fell from the

[WalkWithMeTim]

"Come and see Derren Brown with us", they said. "He makes me sick", the reply, then, after much cajoling" "oh alright, if i must, but on your heads be it". Later, "i told you so."
