Clown suicide

In last night's show a clown committed suicide. It was brilliant.

At one point I thought it was all going to end happily. Then a mentalist killed my Ringmaster character, the Escapologist (who might have saved the day) was arrested instead of the mentalist (because of being in a straight jacket) and Zippo the Clown was left with only the mentalist for company. Hence his suicide.

It just goes to show, in improv you never know what's going to happen...
