Castings for an Ad, in Cork, on Monday & Tuesday the 15th & 16th of July next week, ad to be shot in August around the 18th.

As far as I know the pay would be nominal, but the whole thing should be fun. basically the people shooting the ad will be filming loads of people hugging.

People of all ages and descriptions wanted! no acting or screen experience or anything needed.

So if you fancy hugging someone on the telly, leave a comment below, be sure and fill in the email address field correctly, and I will forward you more details!

Check out this possibility of work on TV (for those lucky young ones among us!).

Best of luck!!

Actually, it’s not everywhere, it’s at the Cork Arts Theatre for the Cork Midsummer Festival. I went last night. Highly recommended, I don’t know what to tell you really except I laughed a lot. The Threat of Humour consists of comedy sketches presided over by John F. McCarthy of Hammergrin Productions. They range from the wonderful comic songs of Katie Holly who has an incredible voice to the unveiling of ‘Own’: the Boy Who Never Laughs.

There is the wonderful interpretive dance piece which tells the story of Gaire the ancient Irish princess who falls in love with a suitor too jovial to be a future king, two short films and an appearance by Cork actor Cormac Costello.

I knew a lot of the people involved, but the whole audience seemed to be hysterically laughing, not just me so I can safely assume that it wasn’t just my familiarity with the personalities involved that was amusing.

John F. McCarthy informed me “I was very pleased when i heard you laughing. It means we’re hitting that minority sense of humour.”

Anyone else there last night? Any comments?
