Intestine rig designed and built by Shannon Heiber
Actor needed to enter as if he was unharmed and then reveal he had been eviscerated. It becomes a gag that he repeatedly dies, then revives, standing up to reveal even more intestines have exited his body. Because of the "splash zone" for this show, it was also important that it be as bloody as possible, and the actor used the intestines to get blood on the audience.
