During self-isolation in these crazy times, I thought it'd be a fun idea to do "morning pages" style videos as soon as we wake up. An unfiltered (although edited) stream of consciousness over your morning cup of tea!
Head over to Carrie's channel for an daily video each evening.

Stage hand: I think I need a knee pad for this.
Justin: we're not PLANNING on inflicting head trauma every night!
Carrie hitting herself with her mallet just makes me relate her to Rapunzel even more because of when Rapunzel hits herself with the frying pan.
every time you say "here we are" i expect you to say "first day of senior year" 😭
7 months ago and this still tickles me 😭
@@jayceonalvin3346 why ahah
I remember when Carrie hit you in the face with the crossbow in Addams🙈🤣
I remember that! 😭🙈🖤
Anyone else start singing you cant stop the beat when she said naacp?
Yes omg! 😂
Buck’s Fizz is the British name, Mimosa is American - they’re the same drink of orange and fizz, but then Bellini is peach and fizz ☺️.
Lol I fell on stage once and this girl came home to me and told me I ruined the show. Thanks Scarlett 😄
I think this is the first time Ollie has been prepared with a sentence following ‘Don’t!....’
Keep being vocal about BLM Carrie! ❤️
I have actually fallen off the stage before. A trip and belly slide down a raked platformed stage. I think I styled it out but the principal characters I fell in front of lost it with laughter though.
In year 5 we did a school play of Joseph and his technicolor dream coat. I played one of the brothers and at the point at which he's thrown into the well we threw him a little bit too hard 😂
I have had many moments where, i fell or had an accident on stage. One that will live with me for a very long time is. My senior year of High School. I was performing Dauntless in Once upon a mattress. During the Act One Finale "Love Song" Winifred flips Dantless. On opening night i do the flip and land, but with my costume I had my mic pack, in the small of my back and I landed right on it and I lost feeling in my legs for what felt like a minute but it was not even 10 seconds, and the ensemble as well as my best freind who was playing Winifred was just watching me, like is he going to get up? I got up and i finished the number but was in pain for the entire rest of the show, but I was able to laugh at it later.
I was there the night Carrie got hit with her mallet! She played it so well that I didn't even notice. Such a pro!
Any time I think of saying naacp I think of the line in hairspray 😂
My dance school went to London to dance at Sadlers Wells theatre in 2007 when I was 8 and the day before we danced I got the end of my pinkie finger caught in the hotel door and the end came clean off. I had to have an operation that night and all I cared about was whether I could still dance. So now I have one pinkie that is 3/4 of the size of the other one but I still got to dance I was just still coming round from the anaethsetic
The charity she's talking about helps students from K-8th grade in Chicago and the surrounding areas of need! It's an incredible cause, students seeing themselves represented in the classroom is one of the strongest ways education can become more anti-racist.
I've also had my ankles sweeped out from underneath me and proper face planted on the ground haha
These videos are keeping me sane ❤️❤️😂
please remember to drink water, and have a great day :)
Someone ran into my face during a blackout one time. It was the leper scene in Jesus Christ Superstar and I was on the ground at the end of the scene and there were so many people piled into the one area, it took some time to get off the floor and into the wings. One of the stagehands ran past with the curtain to get ready for the next scene and his knee collided with my cheek. By the time I got back down to the dressing room one side of my face was purple and I ended the show with so much extra makeup on that side of my face to cover it up 😄 Good (painful) times.
“Don’t fall over on stage”
Me: me and two other people get knocked out in our play😭
Once when I was doing panto we had all the kids in for their first dress run and most of them hadn’t worn character shoes before and the amount of 8 year olds that fell over was awful.
Another time I was doing a showcase and during a lift that I landed awkwardly I tore my hamstring!! (Worst pain of my life) I will never forget the sound of my leg and my partner said it sent shivers up his body and knew something had gone wrong! I had to try and gracefully make my way of stage before I could die in pain 😅
I was dancing in a ballroom and Latin show a few years back. It was with some pretty well known people and I was partnered with a really lovely guy. During the performance in my home town, there’s a bit where I go to walk away from him and he pulls me by my arm back. He pulled my arm, not even aggressively and I dislocated my shoulder! Omg it hurt so bad but it was nearly the end of the routine so stick it out. God knows how looking back!
You must have mimosas & samosas for the 100th!!!!!
When I was on stage doing Oliver once, I was playing Mrs Sowerbery, and I had to be pushed by Oliver into a coffin while he makes his escape. Anyway, one night I think my mic pack was like slightly in the wrong place, and when I fell into this like big wooden coffin, I completely scraped down my back! Omg it hurt so much, but I had to carry on with this long, angry scene. When I got offstage and had to quickly get changed into a Nancy’s gang costume, Bethan who was playing Nancy was like “omg your back!”. And I was like, “oh yeah I like scraped it on the coffin”, and she was like “it’s like properly bleeding!”. So basically I had to go round the dressing rooms mid costume trying to find a plaster, so I didn’t get blood on the rented costume! It was a disaster 😂
OH MY GOD. hope you're okay
Tore my ankle ligaments during the dress rehearsal, not in the piece we were doing en pointe, but during the most basic little hop in the background. We'd been preparing for months and then I was on crutches literally the day before and we had to figure out how to hide the huge gap on stage 😬 was absolutely gutted to miss the show.
I was once doing a tap show and the show on stage was fine and to get off the stage there were stairs that had metal at the edge of the stairs and my front tap hit the metal edge and I fell down the entire flight of stairs on my arse 😂
For the 100 ep they could do a livestream all day to raise money where people just jump in and out and we watch them talk and bake and make tik toks stuff.
The whole video i just couldn’t help but staring at that single sneaker on the left😅
I hadn't noticed, i now can't stop seeing it 🤣
Now u said it omg 😭😭
Ooh, if you're interested in diverse books, Knights Of is currently running a crowdfunder called Inclusive Indies. They are a publisher house so not a charity but well worth checking out.
technically i’ve never fallen on stage, but i was dropped. i was hermia in my school production of a midsummer night’s dream, and in the scene near the end where she and lysander find out they can get married, i had to run over to the girl playing lysander, she would pick me up, spin me round and put me down again, however one night she dropped me flat on my back! i had to quickly sort my dress out and get up to deliver a line. not my proudest moment but definitely a funny one
Falling on your knees hurts so much. I had to fall on purpose in a show and on the last night, can't remember why. I just fell on my knees and you can see in the recording the pain in my face...
please do a cover of crazier than you for the 100th video xx
I was in a youth theatre production of Oliver, and during the tech rehearsal I fell down a flight of warped stairs backstage. Long story short, I tore and stretched my thumb ligament, it healed stretched and I have since had hand surgery and have an arthritic thumb in my early 20s 🙈😂 It was my first time on the set as well and, because of adrenaline, I only realised something was wrong when I was performing consider yourself and tried to lift my skirt slightly and couldn’t grip! Whoops!
I fell over doing a hitch kick while dancing to “get me to the church” in a production of my fair lady when it was a full house and the choreographer and director was watching 👌😂❤️
Every accident that has happened to me on stage has been as a stage hand never as a performer luckily. I tripped up stairs rushing to get back to the stage once. Another time I was clearing up a champagne pour and my knees slid from under me so I ended up in middle splits at the very front of the stage...continued clearing up like a boss though. Ngl that is my favourite stage story.
I like the musical theatre ones because I find them really helpful x
I was once in a kids production of Les mis and during the barricade scene when we were all dead I died in a bad position and was being strangled by this piece of wood from the barricade and I had to wait there for like a minute but as a kid I was like I REFUSE to move 😂
Earlier this year I fell off stage while playing Cathy in The Last 5 Years. I fell after the first song but being a two person show, I got up and kept doing the whole show (thanks adrenaline) luckily there was only one show left the following day so powered through that performance too.
Learned a few day later I had fractured my coccyx 🤦♀️
I was doing a production of suessical and my ankle popped (I still have no idea what I did) at the very beginning of act 2 I could barely walk but I finished all of act 2 (wearing 3” inch heels too). I managed to do bows but straight away had to run off the stage because of the pain. I had to ice my knee anytime I was offstage. I never went to the hospital afterwards but I could barely walk. My ankle has always been really weak since and I can’t wear heels other than character shoes anymore! 🤦♀️
Good morning 💕 hope you all have a great day. ❤️
I fell over a wooden box on stage when I was in my fair lady, it was in a black out luckily, coming off from get me to the church I think, I also dont wear my glasses on stage mostly so am more prone to falling over etc although I had managed fine up til that show Haha but it really hurt and I had a big purple bruise on my knee for at least three or four days, I have to be extra careful now coming off stage in blackouts, I don't use contacts either yet which might be a gd idea
I remember in my school production of Peter Pan at one point we had to run into the audience in pyjamas, do a bit of a dance then run out of the auditorium. Unfortunately my pyjama bottoms were too long so I went flying and bent my toe back so it was really sore for days. Amazingly though through 15 years of dancing I never injured myself on stage!
Mimosas and samosas is an event at my university since all over campus we have samosa sales in lieu of bakesales, and they're always a hit!
As a dancer i’ve fallen over, been slapped, punched, kicked, dropped, kneed, you name it😂 Not pleasant but hilarious looking back!
Also when you were talking about mimosas all I could think was the Incredibles when the machine is like “would you like some more mimosa” 😂
I saw her fall over the child in chitty 😂😂❤️❤️❤️
I was in a show a while ago where we didn't rehearse with the adult cast once(it was there Joseph UK tour so we luckily didn't do much with the adults) and during the first show I was called offstage because the council hadn't confirmed my stage licence, I got on as the curtains were opening and flew over this other child, and was sat on the concrete stairs with my bruised knee for the whole of act 1 😅🤦♀️
Thankfully all my falls have been in rehearsals. During Sister Act rehearsals we had to walk in a circle for the ending pose in the finally number. I was walking on the outside so I had to walk the fastest so I had to like shuffle step to get there in time. In one rehearsal I just lunge stepped into my place so I would make it in time and just fully did the splits and fell to the floor. Thankfully it's on video 😂
When I was about 13 I did a school production of Singin in the Rain and the night it got filmed was the worst. They had actual water falling on the stage so it was often wet and when I was walking across stage saying a line I put my heel down and skidded across with the audience audibly gasping. Then in the finale I was walking in formation and slipped over onto my side. I also couldn't find my poncho from the night before so was the only one without it. I vowed never to watch that DVD haha
My final dance show at university, my first number had a straight high kick facing one side, I put too much momentum into the first kick and fell straight onto my lower back 🙃 Deep heat became my best friend for the rest of the show weekend haha. I also fractured my elbow in my first cheer showcase falling out of a stunt straight forward and did exactly what Oli did, put my arms out to save myself and couldn’t move it. The medics at the gym told me it was just a pulled muscle (despite it being the size of a tennis ball) and I had a dance competition the next day, so I didn’t go to the hospital until about 1am the next day after a full day of competing 😬 never known pain like it!
Omg, I was there when you fell Carrie!! It was my 1st time watching Les Mis and we were in the Stage left slip seats and I saw you fall but wasn't sure if it was part of the show until I saw your Insta after!!
I was in a production of Les Mis School Edition in the Edinburgh Fringe, and during One Day More, I had to climb a set of stairs before my line came in, and one performance i fell up the stairs. It hurt, but it wasn't too bad. I decided for continuity to do the rest of that performance with a limp xD
I was in the audience when Carrie got hit with the mallet - she played it off so well - I was so shocked to learn about it on social media later that night
i was doing a jazz dance with this floor work in it on stage and when i was supposed to drop into the right position i just fell flat on my bum🙃👏🏼
Goodness! I'm glad you two are still here! Lol :)
13:46 - totally missed the opportunity to break out into AGONYYYYY from into the woods 🤣
It'll be a sad day when there are no more videos to wake up to 😭
I'm so happy I found this! Idk why I didn't realize you have good morning when Carrie had good evening!!!!
Well I didn’t really fall on stage I sort of fell of the stage. I was in blood brothers and at the end I had to stand on the very edge of the stage when Micky and eddie die. However when I yelled “no” I didn’t stop running and slipped. The girl playing mrs Johnstone then had to sing tell me it’s not true whilst laughing at me 🙄😂🤭
I was in Guys and Dolls as Nathan (I go to a same-sex school so we have to pretend to be guys lol). On the second night, during the dialogue between Miss Adelaide and Sarah before Marry the Man Today, the director had blocked that Nathan and Sky should walk in stage to enact the women's fantasies of having perfect husbands. Sky was on stage right folding laundry for Sarah, while I was on stage left looking after a baby for Adelaide. We were only on for a few seconds and had to walk off again when Adelaide said "But they just can't change!" I, however, started walking away and fell flat on my arse. The baby went flying into the wings and I had to scramble to get off stage so they could start the song. Adelaide didn't see it happen, but the girl playing Sarah saw me hit the floor and had to suppress a giggle for the whole song!
This is what is getting me through lockdown
About Gangs of London, my bf and I stopped watching it after a few episodes because we felt the violence was SO over the top and became unrealistic so we felt it was just there to.. "be there" if you know what we mean haha
I remember finally getting some teletone tap shoes in my teens. I was so excited to perform in them because I just LOVED the sound and thought it would really lift my performance.
However.
The cobbles screwed the taps too tight, unknown to me, leaving a screw right where my big toe would be.
I thought they felt different but didn't realise why until I started to tap and put force on it.
Hobbled my way through the performance and came off stage to a hole in my toe and a shoe full of blood.
I've never tried any other kind of tap since.
Another cool t-shirt! :-)
Ow my god, I'm in so much pain now... :p You know that feeling, when somebody talks about pain and you start feeling it? Like Carrie when Oli talked about his broken wrist on the bus? That. but...all of your stories at once. aaahhhh :p
I remember Carrie tweeting or posting on Instagram about hitting herself during Heathers. That must've been so so painful :( Well, it all sounded very painful. Dang.
I love the routine!
Watching full ads now since you discussed it! Hope you guys are doing okay financially and mentally. Love you xoxo
I'd love to hear your experiences with kids in theatre!!
I have fallen over in every show I’ve been in; mostly bc I’m clumsy af and can’t walk apparently 😂. It’s gotten so bad and consistent that we’ve now dubbed it as “christening the show”. So every show people ask me if I have fallen over and therefore christened the show 😂😂
I just wanna say how much i love the videos you and Carrie put up! Love from the Philippines❤️
Do another 5 minute song challenge for your 100th video :) I loved the last one x
Instagram now lets you stay live for 3 hours!!!
Good morning from Taiwan ❤️
I dropped someone on stage :0
I was lumiere and had to do a tango in be our guest and had to do a bridal lift, but failed cause of the candle sticks i had to wear ;--;
I was stage manager of my high school production of bugsy malone and it was the pie fight scene, which is prone to people slipping on the cream anyway, but this one night some got in the wings, so I’m rushing about trying to organise everyone for the bows, and I slipped but it was like something out of a film, because I went flying straight into the supply cupboard and I was buried under cleaning supplies 😅😂
Im preparing to do Bugsy (Im Knuckles) and oh my gosh I didnt think about the pie fight! I slipped over during our last show just because my shoes didnt have amazing grip, so I am now very scared for the final scene XD
Grace Bryson don’t be scared you’ll be amazing 🥳💕✨
@@hannahryan9678 Oh my gosh I was not dipping for compliments but thank you!
Okay so, just over a year a go, I was in a show (in theatre college) and we'd been rehearsing for about three months and for the last 3 weeks, we rehearsed jumping off these little craters in the wall. The show had a TON of running around in different speeds and was extremely physical. Also a huge thing to know: The audience is on the stage with us in little indiviudal squares and we move around them. In my college the directing students only have two shows on the same day and that's it. So the show is supposed to go like this: *party music starts* The cast: Wooooohooooo!! *we all jump off the wall and start dancing around the audience (who are there with us in their squares almost face to face) like crazy*
WELL I GOT INJURED
Show starts, music starts, we all say whooohoo from our place in the wall and jump down onto where the audience is. I landed sO hard on my heels that I BRUISED THE BONE. It hurt like hell. From the very first 5 seconds of the fourty minute, first show of two, I could not use my heels. and 90% of the show was RUNNING. Also, I didn't have no understudy or whatever, this is ur average public college so I did two fourty- minute shows with my heel bones bruised. The director was like you dID WHAT when I told him. During the break he told me that it was okay if I didn't want to do the second show (I was legit crying from pain...) but I am one commited MF. and besides, if I wasn't in the show it would have all fallen kinda appart since I was a main character among the 6 total characters.
Oh and best of all: IT'S ALL FILMED. not my fall, but me desperately trying to run at "full speed" with my bruised heel bones. it looks kinda ridiculous. and is embarrasing but I hope it goes to show how commited I am to my shows lol
I was waiting for Carrie to mention the Heathers story I remember that happening 😂
phoebe me too!
I just laughed so much, thanks for making my morning xD
When I was in 10th grade we did a very weird version of "High School Musical" as a school play and I was part of the ensemble. We only had one "accident". During the last number, the girl who played Gabriella and the boy who played Troy had a dance number where she was spinning in circles A LOT. It always went well, but during one performance the girl got sick and dizzy. She managed to casually WALK into the wings where she fainted. (She probably hadn't eaten enough too or something). Unfortunately, we could see her legs sticking out of the wings. It was such a horrific moment, because we all had to continue dancing and singing like there were NO LEGS STICKING OUT OF THE WINGS! After some time the girl probably got helped up und the legs disappeared, but for about 30 seconds everybody on stage was so scared she might be severely injured or something. But after the show, we went to look for her and she was sitting in the dressing room drinking coke so everything was fine xD
Where do I start! 😅 I had to fall on stage landing at the bottom of a staircase and one night I fell a bit awkwardly and got splinters all down my cheek because my head fell onto the bottom step way to hard!
😀
when I was Hero in Much Ado, part of the wedding scene had me being pushed backwards by Claudio towards my father (on the line 'There, Leonato, take her back again: Give not this rotten orange to your friend'), it was great, worked every time. until the dress run when we were in the venue and had our props all in place, one of which was a punch bowl. Earlier in the show, one of the side characters had got himself some punch but was meant to be drunk so he fumbled the ladle and spilt 'punch' (water, so we didn't accidentally stain costumes) all over the floor. Unfortunately the punch bowl happened to be right near where I stood for the wedding so when I was pushed back, I stumbled onto the puddle of water and my foot went straight up in the air and I landed flat on my back (on a parquet floor, in a very thin wedding dress)
after that we had to make sure the drunk character was a little more careful with his drink 😂
I was in a production of Joseph once where one of the brothers disclocated his shoulder/elbow (I can't remember which one) whilst on stage. We were one brother short for the end of that show and then the rest of the week he came back and did it all with his arm in a sling 😂
I've fallen over loads in shows but I think my most memorable one was absolutely hitting the deck in Miss Saigon, I was playing a prostitute in stilettos and tripped as I came onstage
Luckily it was in blackout and I got up just as the lights came up, but I felt so crippled and had the most enormous bruise on my leg after that - very visible for a prostitute in hot pants!
I also got extremely close to falling over as Emma in Jekyll & Hyde, as my wedding dress at the end was waaayyy too long and I had to run all over the stage and get dragged around by Hyde
I don't think my feet touched the floor once after the action started! I was just skidding around on material and hoping I wouldn't fall down
👍
Clearly, Oliver is fine but as someone with experience my mind is screaming "Why did nobody insist on a hospital check!"
make a twitch is an idea
Any time I think of saying naacp I think of the line in hairspray 😂
