I'm reminded of that video that I believe was posted to Hacker News a while back of the young female programmer live-coding a simple Space Invaders clone in JavaScript. What she did wasn't boring, but that's because it was novel (her sex provided that), it was fun (being a game), and most importantly it was obviously well-rehearsed.
If you're going to do live-coding, you have to realize that it's far less demo than it is performance; and if it's not going to be that, do us all a favor and skip it.
