    Default Drywall fell on stage

    During my stage I tend to have my right arm up in the air to run my hand across the ceiling. The ceiling is made of dry wall. A piece of the drywall was not properly in the ceiling. I guess it was loose or something.. my hand hit the piece of drywall and it fell on the stage.
    Anyone else have something like this happen to them on stage?

    LOL...I once climbed up the pole, flipped upside down......and kicked a hole in ratty drywall. So I'm hanging upside down by my ankles being showered with drywall pieces and dust...SEXY!

    LOL one time I kicked a colored light off of the ceiling while doing a pole trick. The rim of the light caught on my ankle and fell down my leg to my thigh while the bulb flew into the audience and landed on some guys table.

    People clapped.

    He tried to take the bulb home as a souvenier or some shit but the maintenance guy took it.

    There's no drywall ceiling at my club... thank goodness because I bump my head on the ceiling a lot. In fact, I did it last night...

    Was doing a roll and whacked my head HARD on the spinning pole, enough to make the sound resonate to stage one, and everyone looked. By that time I had shrugged it off and kept moving. Made for interesting convo during the lap-dances I had lined up when I got off stage.

    i guess it's better than underwear-stealin'!!!!

    My ceiling looks like it could do this, too... I haven't tested this theory yet... the Leaning Pole of Pisa is bad enough.

    One time, the pole was broken, it was bolted down to the floor but it had come unbolted from the ceiling, but you couldn't tell from looking at it.

    I came in late and no one told me, so I start my set and grip the pole to do a spin and *doing *I launched myself across the stage! It hurt so bad and I had the worse bruise.

    I limped into the dressing room, humiliated and licked my wounds for a few before going back out and trying to work. I had changed costumes and when I approached customers they were like, "Oh my God, did you see that dancer fly across the stage?"

    So embarrassing!

    Are you sure it's drywall? Drywall almost always comes in huge heavy pieces like, 7 foot by 5 foot, 60 pounds. It hardly ever falls down because it is screwed to the wood behind it. It can, however, get ratty and get holes like Bridgette describes. Here is a picture of where drywall exists in a building, before it's been painted: .

    Maybe you are referring to the ceiling tiles that exist in dropped ceilings? These are much smaller and lighter and are not attached in any way, they just rest on top of their supports, like this picture of someone messing with one: .

    I'm just wondering because A) something is SERIOUSLY wrong if drywall is falling from the ceiling and B) a piece of drywall falling could kill someone.

    Not too long ago, we had a cocktail waitress-turned-dancer fall off the bar while she was doing a bar dance, and take the entire rack of hanging glasses down with her. Sign from God?

    (She was barely scraped up though, which is good.)

    Back when Jumbo's Clown Room was awesome, the pole was held up with duct tape, and all but one of the dancers were obese. The best part of the stage show was watching that pole wobble and tip, wondering if this was finally going to be the time it all came down!

    Unfortunately it never did, and somewhere in their transition to boring go-go bar with pretty bikini girls, they fixed the pole. Stupid buttheads, it would've been golden to be there when that duct tape finally gave way.

    One bar used to have rings on stage (like gymnasts rings on chains). I used to take one and use it to make myself slide across stage. I did this one time and the chain came out of the ceiling and I fell right on my ass.

    Another bar had a TV hanging from the ceiling at the corner of the bar. One guy was sitting under it, got up to tip the girl on stage. No sooner had he got up than the TV fell. The song playing was "you dropped the bobm on me".

    Was this at Barbarella's by any chance? I remember last year their pole started to come loose, and everytime I went on stage my hands and hair got covered in the dust falling from the ceiling. If we touched the pole, more ceiling crap would rain down. Good times. Also the place where a spider spun down right in front of my nose, like Little Miss Molly Moffat.

    I was working at a "low ceiling club" once and knocked out a 16x16 ceiling tile. I was attempting an inverted pole trick, kicked out the tile and it damn near landed on a custy's head. The gaping hole via the missing tile, revealed a bunch of speaker wiring which was promptly entangled amongst my ankles before sliding down. I was mortified to say the least. Customers seemed to eat it up though.

    Hahahaha...
    I always seem to hit this damn "disco ball" with my hands when I get up on the smaller stage at work.. It throws me off every time because it feels like I've knocked something and it's about to come crashing down.. not a very sexy way to get up on stage!

    ^^At that same tiny stage I had two incidents: once I dropped down in the splits and forgot how long my legs are in relation to the itty-bitty stage...I hit a beer into a guy's lap. Whoops! And the other time I went upside down and stuck a foot through the ceiling tile. Pole tricks are easier for petite women I think!

    I went to do a pole trick and broke the black light above the stage at The Body Shop in Hollywood.

    I went to spin on the pole at a club in Sacramento. The metal ring that is screwed into the ceiling had come loose and I didnt see. I slid down all sexy and sliced the crap out of my arm. I didnt realize it was so bad. I kept going and a customer at the tip rail told me I may want to clean up - there was blood running down my arm. It was a nasty gash and I now have a rememberance of it by means of a nice scar.

    Twice in 2 weeks I was upside down on the pole - hit lotion and fell on my head0 literally. The first one I played off. The second I had to leave.

    Last Monday I went to pick up money and bent over - foot slid out from under me and I tumbled into the mirrored wall then to the floor. I was mortified. Its that point where you kinda sit there and laugh not wanting to move... then finally get up and walk off stage... ohh... i got sympathy tips tho

    Ouch! That is why I ALWAYS wipe the pole down with alcohol before my sets.
