It all depends on the severity of the situation, Examples: Two years ago at the Sideshow Gathering, I swung a bowling pin from my ear the wrong way and it tore a bit of skin above my earring. A little bit of blood and pain, but little enough for me to go on with the show. At the Phila. Fringe Festival last year when some idiot felt like my instructions weren't important and assisted me in having a nipple torn out, well... the show's over. If (while performing) you realize the injury, but it's within the limits of continuing the show, the show definitley must go on. Just nobody pull any Harry Houdini macho b/s and end up in a hospital, okay?
