When Lee Mack ate a laxative and went on stage… 
| The Graham Norton Show - BBC In this hilarious clip from The Graham Norton Show, comedian Lee Mack shares an unforgettable experience he had on stage, which took a rather unexpected turn. During his time performing a play in the West End, Mack decided to take a break from sugar. After weeks of strict dieting, he stumbled upon some sugar-free sweets at a health shop that he thought would satisfy his cravings. However, unbeknownst to him, these sweets contained a laxative. Mack indulged in a sizable portion—40 to 50 sweets—before a performance, completely ignoring the warning on the packaging: "Do not eat more than one or two at a time." As he began his show, he quickly felt the aftermath of his snack choice. The humorous (yet terrifying) predicament escalated to the point where he found himself frequently rushing off stage to relieve himself, all while keeping up with his performance. At one particularly memorable moment, as part of the act, he was required to turn around and show his backside to the audience, adding to the comedy of his predicament. Despite his nervousness, he managed to navigate the comedy of the situation with wit, showing that even in the most embarrassing moments, humor can prevail. This story not only highlights Mack's comedic talent but also showcases the unpredictable nature of live performances. It’s a great reminder of the lengths to which performers go—and the humorous stories that arise from their experiences. What do you think? Have you ever had a similar cringe-worthy experience? Let’s hear your stories!
