PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN - CROOK'S OFFAL STAGE INVASION

CROOK'S OFFAL STAGE INVASION

PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN star MACKENZIE CROOK's career as a stand-up comedian reached an all-time low when a disgruntled audience member fired missiles at him - shaped from a raw liver. The British actor - who shot to prominence in the U.K. version of TV sitcom The Office - was performing in Birmingham, England, on the same bill as a magician who left the offending offal on stage following his act. The liver was quickly snatched by an unsatisfied customer, who ripped it to pieces and fired it at Crook as he launched into his poorly received routine. Crook recalls, "Someone actually threw raw liver at me at a really tough place. "The act before me was a gross-out magician, who did an illusion where he pulled out his own liver, then left it on stage."
