    Heres a thread for any ideas people might have for next years talent shows.

    Does Any1 want to help me with a Father Ted sketch including My lovely horse? All you need is a black jacket a piece of cloth or paper for a priests collar and we have to get a keyboard and acoustic guitar. I want to play dougal so i need some1 for ted.
    Oh i almost forgot I need ppl for Jack Mrs Doyle Dick Byrne and Cyril as well as the Gay Guy Ted meets and the guy John Kenny played in that episode.

    Isn't it a bit, uh... early for this?

    Part of the fantasticyness of the CTYI talent show is the impromptuyness. Planning fails

    Here's an idea: Get on with the rest of your life till next summer. CTYI is great and all, but it's best to backburner it for 9 months of the year

    If I do what I usually do and leave it until next year I wont organize it right and it will be a disaster.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,880 ✭✭✭Raphael


    Yup, just like all those acts that just got thrown together in the last mainute and sucked completely....

    Oh wait

    The group who did the Eddie Izzard sketch was frantically thrown together the night before the day of the auditions and most of the funniest stuff was made up on the spot or during rehearsal


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,880 ✭✭✭Raphael


    Yes, but Raph dislikes people who talk in the third person :(


  • Registered Users Posts: 354 ✭✭RefulgentGnomon


    Anyway, you can't suggest a Father Ted sketch AND insist on playng Dougal!

    I was referring to the group as whole, not just me, therefore not third person. f00.

    I think you should eat a member of the audience. Whole.

    Or catch Moby Dick, and have a great white whale tossing competition (sport of kings, I say) and the winner gets control of an enormous fiefdom covering the DCU campus, Patagonia, Yucatan Peninsula and the Maldives.

    I'd want to take part if I get in again next year. Also I want to do a sketch that's daubbed. Just have people moving their lips and me hiding behind the piano speaking into the mic.

    Character1: (mouths words) Who's that?
    Character2: (spends thirty seconds mouthing a sentence) I don't know

    Yeah, original ideas are hard to come by.
    Ooh, ooh! You could get a band together and have a ridiculously large amount of guitarists on stage!!!
    Oh wait no, that's been done...
    Oh ok! You could do a news report and... Oh wait no..
    You could put Aonghus under a sheet and give Aidan a really big stick and- Crap, there I go again!
    Eh, maybe the Father Ted sketch might work...

    I officially call the role of Father Jack.

    This is session 2 right?


  • Registered Users Posts: 588 ✭✭✭JenLorigan


    I like Bill's idea :)

    And don't start planning it now. That said, don't try and decide what to do in the twenty seconds before your audition :p


  • Registered Users Posts: 647 ✭✭✭slasher_65


    dead parrot i say! just change it to dead sportofrancalion. we could get fake siggs and everything! a yellow backsack could be purched for a small amount in pennys. i call the role of the sportofrancalion!


  • Registered Users Posts: 950 ✭✭✭Feral Mutant


    Something from Monty Python could be good. Most people have seen the films but not everyone will have seen the show.


  • Registered Users Posts: 448 ✭✭Jack Lynch


    There seem to be a lot of people who have nothing better to do for the next 9 months


  • Registered Users Posts: 13,034 ✭✭✭✭It wasn't me!


    Try not to make up your audition song as you go. :p


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,858 ✭✭✭Undergod


    The band most faithful to the great Punk DIY tradition to never get into the talent show. Sniff. I'll never forget you guys, and my one-audition career as a punk singer.

    It was a good time, and we had such a laugh, but it was so damn DIY it was unreal! We made up the drumming as we went along. :p

    Liz, Liz, Liz!!! Have you not realised by now that they don't need such silly things as reasons to fight?

    pfffft, having reasons is secondary to the thrill of the mod-evading and general flame-fest that does be going on...
