I had an epic fail yesterday ))

It was my birthday party in the jazz club in Japan and I was explicitly told several days before I must play for the guests because this is a rule. OK. I practiced at home with the backing track, recording myself, listening, improving and so on, and was more or less satisfied. And guess what? In the middle of the playing I forgot the tema. Completely! Of course I didn’t have the scores sheet. And honestly, I was a bit drunk. But still... My question is: what people usually do in such situations? When you are in the middle of the tune and you do not know what to do next? Any immediate actions?
