I get it quite often when I play for some time intensly, like 15 mins, and then it just gets impossible to play anything, mouth and tongue just gets wooden... Does it happen to anybody else?

Have you been playing long? If the muscles in your face and tongue are getting tired I would say you are not relaxing enough as you play. I would play intensely for less time and intersperse that with more mellow tunes.

jawbone is right. Tensing up and not relaxing is the first hurdle to get over, especially if someone is listening to you and you are not used to it.
Just keep it simple and enjoy the sounds.
