A situation in which one or more characters are unexpectedly asked (or compelled) to take an acting part in a Show Within a Show. Maybe they just happen to be present backstage when one of the real actors suddenly collapses, or maybe they get mistaken for the real actor for some reason and have to play along, maybe they literally drop on stage by accident while doing something else, or maybe getting on stage is the only way for them to get close to a MacGuffin. Whatever the cause, they'll find themselves out in front of everyone trying to pretend that they know what they're doing. They might have a brief opportunity to skim the script, or they might just have to make it up as they go along, but expect it to be awkward either way. Most of the time, the show in which they're forced to act is a play or other live theatrical production, but it could also happen with other media. It can sometimes happen in video games, which requires that the players themselves do a plausible job of remembering their lines. A frequent cause of Bad "Bad Acting". See also All Part of the Show, which is when characters aren't trying to follow their actual role, but the audience thinks they are anyway. When a character stands up to perform (as opposed to being pushed) because it's their best/only option, they are Holding the Floor. Frequently employed as part of the Concert Climax. May result in the Concert Kiss. |

In the closing sequence of Howard the Duck, having become Cherry Bomb's new manager Howard is on a catwalk during their concert. As they perform the movie's Title Theme Tune, Howard gets caught up in one of Phil's special effects, and ends up onstage. The crowd loves it, Phil gives Howard a guitar, and the duck literally plays along with a guitar solo. | |

Happens many times on Whose Line Is It Anyway?, especially since some games involve audience participation. In one skit, part of Wayne Brady's shtick is that he's transforming into a goofy white guy. To carry this out, he pulls a white guy from the audience and puts him onstage. The results are appropriately awkward. |

An episode of Yes! Pretty Cure 5 has Nozomi willingly take up the role of a main character in a stage show, mostly because she didn't want Urara's first show to be a disaster. Unfortunately, Nozomi's a major klutz who got herself kicked out of every club, including the Drama one. And that's not counting when one of the Quirky Mini Boss Squad showed up in the middle of the show, forcing them to figure out a way to transform without tipping people off. Like the Inuyasha example, people think that it's All Part of the Show. | |

In the Milo Murphy's Law episode "Smooth Opera-tor," Milo attends the opera with his friends and crush, Amanda, who mentions that she really would like nothing to go wrong (as usually happens around Milo). As things inevitably do go wrong, he's forced to run around backstage, and occasionally on-stage, to fix them. Ultimately, all the chaos causes one of the performers to book it, forcing Milo to play his part to keep the opera going. | |

Paperinik e l'indimenticabile Aida (one of these Italian Disney comics which never seem to get published in English) has a Classy Cat-Burglar fleeing from Paperinik (Donald's superhero alter ego) through an opera house and accidentally running on stage during a show of Aida, while in costume. She hastily attempts to ad-lib a song to blend in. Then Paperinik ends up on stage too, and both begin chasing and running from each other, while still singing in rhyme. | |

After a moment of stage fright-enduced shock, Aahz unleashes the Perv dimension's national anthem onto the audience. Once he was done, the only audience member left was an old, deaf man stuck in the back. And he voted for Aahz. | |

In Mass Effect 3, in the second half of the Citadel DLC, Shepard is summoned to assist a Normandy teammate, who (it turns out) has been roped into a ludicrous re-creation of the reaper attack staged by a slapdash vid crew. The production's director is thrilled to have the real Shepard on stage. Shepard is reluctant to participate, but is already in front of the camera, and chooses to go along with it. However, as this version of the story becomes increasingly inaccurate and ridiculous, culminating in an appearance by Blasto, Shepard ultimately chooses to pull the plug on the show. | |

And in Final Fantasy IX, when Dagger crashes into the play being performed at the beginning of the game, she ad-libs a very nice exit scene. Justified since the play is the in-universe equivalent of Romeo and Juliet, and Dagger is a classically educated Princess who happens to love that particular play. | |

Happened on Monk once, when Monk is persuaded to take over the part of an actor whose death he is investigating. He did reasonably well during rehearsal, but missed his cue during the real thing, was pushed onstage, and ended up making a fool of himself. He redeems himself, however, by solving and explaining the murder onstage. | |

Technically show-within-a-show-within-a-show: once in the Square One TV SwaS "Mathnet" they solved the crime and approached the perp (who was a Broadway actress) right after the curtain came down - then the curtain went up again for the Curtain Call. So they do The Summation in song, to a standing ovation. | |

On The Spectacular Spider-Man, Harry is supposed to play Puck in the school's rendition of A Midsummer Night's Dream, but doesn't show up because he's been kidnapped by the Green Goblin. However, Hobie Got Volunteered because he had played the part in another production, and winds up doing a great job. This also marks the end of a Running Gag where he's constantly interrupted before he can speak. | |

The third One Piece TV-Special focuses on a theatre actor putting on one last show. When some of the cast suddenly quit right before the opening act, naturally the Straw Hats ended up on stage causing all kinds of chaos. | |

In The Farndale Avenue Housing Estate Townswomen's Guild Dramatic Society Production of Macbeth, the director of the show within the show receives word after the curtain has already gone up that the actress playing Lady Macbeth will be unable to make it, and responds by forcing the (male) stage manager to stand in. | |

In Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Caractacus Potts, running from an angry customer at the fair, ends up hiding in the middle of a men's song and dance act. At first he's obviously behind and trying to copy everyone else, but by the end, he has blended in seamlessly and ends up getting a cut of the money just like all the other guys who were actually supposed to be performing. | |

There are some Final Fantasy examples: Cloud and his date (usually Aeris, but not always) take part in a play at the Gold Saucer in Final Fantasy VII. Then there's Celes performing at the opera in Final Fantasy VI, where Locke and Ultros fall onto stage and knock out two vital main characters, and adlib themselves into the plot so they can duel for "Maria" (Celes). The Impresario is livid. And in Final Fantasy IX, when Dagger crashes into the play being performed at the beginning of the game, she ad-libs a very nice exit scene. Justified since the play is the in-universe equivalent of Romeo and Juliet, and Dagger is a classically educated Princess who happens to love that particular play. |

Jade Empire gives the player the option of acting in a play which is being monitored by the authorities for possibly containing subversive messages. By their choice of lines, the player determines whether or not they find any (or they can just screw up, of course). | |

The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind's Tribunal expansion gives you the option of replacing a sick actor in a politically charged play, and if you do it, someone tries to assassinate you part way through. Turns out that the assassin's presence was known, and you were deliberately put in that position in order to protect the actor. | |

Happens to Elmer Fudd in "Rabbit of Seville." In "Stage Door Cartoon," Elmer Fudd and Bugs Bunny do this to each other. They both end up on stage in "Slick Hare" - true to character, Fudd flees in panic, while Bugs happily goes into a dance. | |

This is pretty much the point of Thank God You're Here, except that the performers know they're about to be put in front of the audience. What they don't know, however, is what the 'play' they're going to be in is about. | |

Moulin Rouge!, the hero and The Dragon end up on stage during the climax of Spectacular Spectacular. In this case, the hero actually wrote the script, and nobody on stage wants the audience to realize there is a major catastrophe in progress with the show, so they collectively adlib around the fight going on on stage as the bad guy attempts to recover a gun he dropped (which the actors keep kicking away from him). | |
