Is it that time already?
First, Christmas decorations infiltrate the shops mid-August, and now RTÉ have officially announced the date for the Late Late Toy Show. Seems like we can’t escape the inevitable, winter is coming.
The Toy Show is an Irish institution, chocked to the brim with Tubs’ shitty Christmas jumpers, toys that we still wish we could play with, and best of all, hormonal and unpredictable children.
The show is set to air on Friday the 2nd of December, and the producers are on the hunt for the brightest and best that this country has to offer.
This year's #ToyShow takes place Fri, 2nd Dec & we're looking for the children who help make it a magical night. https://t.co/SVHAvhNTxe

They are looking for enthusiastic and outgoing kids, performers and ‘show-off’s’.
“So if there is a young person in your life who is a natural in front of the camera, a talented performer, comedian or just an all round show-off, we want to hear from you.
We’re also looking for performing groups, dancers, bands, choirs and singers from all over the country. Once again this year we’re hitting the road and auditioning acts all over the country to make sure we find the best kids, wherever they live.”
Applicants are asked to send a recording of their kid and send them to them to: Late Late Toy Show, PO Box 170, RTE, Dublin 4.”
The closing date is Monday the 3rd of October, so if you think that you have the next John Joe Brennan on your hands then get moving.
John Joe-who? Remember the 8-year-old Roald Dahl obsessed wannabe horologist? Check out the video below for a piece of absolute Toy Show gold.
