Theatre Fails is a storytelling podcast where theatre people share the ridiculous, unexpected moments when something went wrong during a live performance- and celebrate the people who somehow kept the show going.

Hosted by MacKenzie Skye, each episode brings together real stories from onstage and backstage, a little Intermission game, and a final Curtain Call that brings us back to why these stories matter.

Because these aren’t really stories about failure. They’re the stories that remind us why we fell in love with live theatre.

He Decided He Was Gonna Die in That Moment | Theatre Fails Ep 1

Season 1 · Episode 1

Thursday, October 15, 2026 • Duration 33:02

An actor forgets the monologue that's supposed to end the entire play. Welcome to Theatre Fails, a comedy theatre podcast sharing hilarious true stories of live theatre gone wrong.

In Episode 1 of Theatre Fails, six theatre people share their funniest onstage mishaps: We're talking about the night the script stopped being helpful, the costume stopped being cooperative, the prop did the exact opposite of its ONE job, and somebody "yes-anded" SO HARD that they potentially changed the ending of the entire show...you couldn't make up if you tried.

*🎭 WHAT IS THEATRE FAILS?*
Theatre Fails is a comedy and storytelling podcast hosted by professional stage actor MacKenzie Skye, featuring real stories from actors and theatre professionals about the wonderfully unpredictable world of live performance.

Every episode celebrates the hilarious mistakes, quick thinking, backstage chaos, and unexpected teamwork that make live theatre so special.

Because these aren't really stories about failure. They're the stories that remind us why we fell in love with theatre in the first place.
