Most of the people doing the blue face work are actors and improvisers, like Mike [pictured]. Mike has done a lot of promotional event work.
Mike: The worst weird job I ever heard of anyone doing was this friend of mine who got 12 prostate exams for $50. $50 total so 12 students could practice giving him prostate exams.
Mike also did Tony and Tina's Wedding for a while, which is an interative play where you go to a "wedding reception" and the actors perform the show around you.
Mike: A guy died once during one of the shows. He was dancing with one of the actors, he walked back to his table, had a heart attack and died. No one knew what to do. They told us to stay in character. The girl who played the nun character said a prayer over his body. After the ambulance came we did the rest of the show for the people who chose to stay.
