“I was so nervous and so panicked about what we were doing and how humiliating it was that my body felt like it was emptying out.” June Diane Raphael of the Peacock dark comedy series “Based on a True Story” talks to Nina_Metz for MyWorstMoment.
My worst moment …
“So we called her, and she had read the review and her granddaughter had seen the show and loved it — I’m clearly speaking to a much older woman — and she says, ‘I’m having a party and I would love for you to do the show there. And I’ll pay you $3,000.” Her address wasfancy and she sounded like she had a ton of money — I mean, her name was Bunny — so we were like, ‘We’ll be there!’
“So I tell her, ‘We brought our own boombox, can you press play at this certain time?’ And then I say: ‘Where is Bunny? And is she going to introduce us?’ And Nora said, ‘Hold on, I’m going to get her.’ “We’re playing little girls in our first sketch, so we’re wearing pigtails. And the sketch is about these two girls who are obsessed with ‘Les Misérables,’ which is why we needed the music. And finally, Nora comes up and says, ‘It’s time.’“But Nora is not only responsible for wrangling talent — which is us — but she is also fully working the party. So she’s holding a tray of cocktails while she’s talking to us: ‘Go down these stairs, it’ll lead you to the living room, and just start.
“There’s no natural stage space — it made no sense — so we find a spot in the living room and start the scene. But nobody can hear because they’re talking amongst themselves. And I realize that none of the jokes in this sketch will make sense because they have not heard the setup. “Then we went back upstairs, changed into old lady costumes and came back down to do it again. And I’ll never forget walking down those stairs a second time and a man was leaning next to a giant column holding a martini, and he looks back over his shoulder and sees us, and then turns to his friend and goes, ‘Here they come again.’
