Quotes / Corpsing

It's the night of the show,
Your sketch is killing.
The audience is having the time of their lives.

When suddenly it hits you:

And you know you can't hold it inside...

And THAT'S WHEN YOU BREAK!
Let the smile cover your face!
THAT'S WHEN YOU BREAK!
The audience is eating it up...
