Line 50:
* Simon in ''[[Misfits]]'' has difficulty when trying to [[How Do I Shot Web?|get the hang of his power]]—he can't ''turn'' invisible while people are watching.
* ''[[Starsky and Hutch]]'': Hutch can pull off the most embarrassing undercover roles without a hitch or a stammer, but put him in front of an audience in his own identity and he freezes up.
* This is a major plot point in the 1999 made-for-TV adaptation of ''[[Alice in Wonderland]]''. Alice is preparing for a garden party where she is going to sing "Cherry Ripe" (a song she doesn't like to begin with), and her stage fright is such that the anticipation is giving her nightmares involving a giant fiendish metronome. The friendlier Wonderland characters try to help her cope, particularly the Hatter, who can personally relate (as fans of the book know, he is a wanted man for "murdering the time" at the Queen's concert, and here, this is the reason). Her resolve is tested many times, such as where she has to settle the argument between the Queen, King, and Executioner, with ''everyone'' watching. It is eventually (at the finale) revealed that [[Stealth Mentor| the White Rabbit]] brought her here intentionally in order to teach her self-confidence. Alice is eventually able to make it through the party by reciting a poem she is more comfortable with ("Lobster Quadrille" taught to her by the Gryphon and Mock Turtle) instead of "Cherry Ripe".
