Winning For Something

Last night after Sketch22's terrific performance at the Charlotteown Heston Fringe Festival, Jason & Dennis and I stumbled across a couple of phrases that we thought would make great titles for sketches and/or game shows and/or something else.

Winning For Something

and

Leave It Forward

In the game show Winning For Something, you never know what you could win. Sometimes it'll be a bad or cheap prize, sometimes a fantastic one. Games contestants try should be difficult enough for them to be frustrated to win something not great.

Leave It Forward is based on the concept of pay-it-forward, only the idea is pay forward the crappy things in life too. This is probably a sitcom?

What are your ideas for TV shows for these two titles? Leave 'em in the comments.

Canada Rocks The Birth Of Christ!!!

So, it looks like the Confederation Centre has given up on trying to produce/create original artistic work. This Xmas they'll be presenting Canada Rocks, But For The Christmas Dollar.

Here's the article from The Guardian

As I've said elsewhere, previously: It's time to take the "of the Arts" out of the name of Confederation Centre. They seem to have completely given up on trying to be inventive with their theatrical production.

In an effort to help the Confed Centre come up with ideas for future productions, I put on my thinking cap and thought of a few ideas that seem to fit the Let's Present A Playlist of Songs formula that has gripped their artistic money-grubbing minds:

Canada RocksBand! - Two and a half hours of performers playing RockBand in expert mode. Canadian tunes only, of course. Gotta keep that CanCon in there for funding purposes. If they want to get really deep about it, they could have actors players from each province perform and the evening could be kind of a contest.

That Dance Dance Revolution Show - An hour and a half of dancers playing DDR.

The Confederation Centre of the Arts Presents Karaoke Night at The Kensington Club - pile everyone into a motorcoach and drive them to Kensington for a night of karaoke. The Japanese tourists would eat this up.

iPod Shuffle - a giant iPod shuffle is on a stool on stage. Actors come out and press the play button to reveal what the next song to be performed will be.

Dog Shits On The Stage - this is one for The Mack - a late night show where a dog comes out on stage and shits. Could also be called Shit Ubu Shit.

What tantalizing productions can you come up with? Leave your ideas in the comments. And by asking for comments, I realize that implies a presumption that anyone will even read this never-updating blog's latest post.

And since it's a weak tangential reference, here's Sketch22's "Canada Rocks Garbage".
