'Up close and personal' is the nickname sometimes given to the member of the
sound crew of a
play,
musical,
concert, or other kind of
show, who's job it is to attatch
radio mics to the
actors/
singers.
The reason behind the nickname, as you might have guessed, is because the person involved has to run wires up the insides of people's
clothes.
I think I'll leave the rest of this node to your
imagination, although I'm sure you understand where the nickname came from now!
