I thought some would find this interesting. If not, mods: feel free to delete this post. Anyway, I found this out last night and did a search on it this morning. Turns out poor Woodley has gone done hurted his knee. Awww.

THIS YEAR'S 'INJURY' STORY
There's always an injury story during the festival, and this year's award goes to Frank Woodley of Lano and Woodley Fame. During a performance of their show, The Island, last week, a call from the stage asking if there was a doctor in the house elicited some laughs, but of course no one took the call seriously. In fact, Woodley really was hurt – He was taken to hospital where he was told he had damaged his cartilage. According to the publicists, there are no plans to cancel any of the remaining performances. The show has been re-written to accommodate the injury, and Woodley will have knee surgery after the festival is over.

So is anyone seeing the show tonight? (I take it tonight, being pretty much the last night of the festival, would be the last night of the performance.) If so, tell us how they did it. I saw the very first preview performance of The Island, and it was great. Filled with screw-ups and an unexpected fire, but those actually got the most laughs. Yeah...
