Reaction Ad-Libs by Gary Darwin - DVD
Because something will go wrong.
The only question is: what will you say when it does?
Every live performer knows the truth—no matter how tight your act is, chaos will eventually kick in the door. A prop fails. A baby cries. Someone heckles. Your mic cuts out. Someone strolls in late like they own the place. And suddenly… all eyes are on you.
That’s where this DVD becomes your secret weapon.
Gary Darwin—one of the sharpest minds in live entertainment—pulls back the curtain on how real pros stay cool under pressure. Spoiler: it’s not luck. It’s preparation. The best performers don’t “wing it”… they stockpile killer lines in advance, so when the unexpected hits, they’re already loaded for bear.
For this uncensored, no-holds-barred course, Darwin gathers a live studio audience of working pros—magicians, comedians, jugglers, MCs, ventriloquists—and turns the room into a rapid-fire think tank of comebacks, advice, war stories, and brutally funny one-liners that actually work in real shows.
What you get is a hilarious, practical masterclass in handling disaster like a legend.
Why this DVD earns a permanent spot in your toolkit:
- 200+ proven lines for the most common on-stage disasters

If you perform live and don’t have a plan for when things go sideways, you’re gambling with your show. This DVD stacks the deck in your favor.
Because when the moment hits…
you won’t be thinking up a line.
You’ll already have the perfect one locked and loaded.
