Break a Leg, Literally

Broken bones aren’t usually funny, that is, unless you are a comedian and it happens just 15 seconds into your act. The audience thought it was all part of Mark Olver’s act. He played along. “I was in a lot of pain, but managed to do about 15 minutes of material while on the floor, passing out every now and then because of the pain, and then coming round to do the punchline.” What a trooper!
