10. Stars in Your Eyes

Stars

This 18-day challenge lined up with a charity event that our local school runs each year where groups of parents perform their own version of the ‘Stars in Your Eyes’ competition. It is hotly contested. Teams guard their acts under clouds of secrecy and bragging rights last for at least the year with some acts regaled and remembered like award winning movies.

I have been involved in acts before and it’s fair to say the stage is not my ‘happy place’. My friend and I just put ourselves out there, totally out of our comfort zones and did the first 2- person comedy act that the local event had ever seen. Our act was based around two very iconic, twin, yodelling entertainers known as the ‘Topp Twins’ . This challenge was not exactly ‘small’ and’ doable’ and it is fair to say it was pretty much full immersion for 18 days! But oh what a blast! what fun we had in those 18 days.
