The Talent Show - Three Fishermen

 

From a set of slides of a school's talent show. These would appear to be the guys doing "The Fishermen Sketch". And I bet it went down a storm.

Bonus - Why do we sleep?

Why do we sleep?

And Our Next Act

...are the Middleton Church Singers, with their selection by "Cradle of Filth"

"Take It Away, Jerry!"

The Pottersville Local Talent Show always delivers.

Bonus - Holy Crap !

Bonus 2 -

Britain May Have Talent ...

Apparently Britain's Got Talent is on ScumTV, and apparently it's as accurate a programme title as Celebrity Big Brother.

So, here's an act from the archives. I wonder if Simon Cowell has a biting phrase for The Three Rednecks.

Bonus - Brown Death: A History of Poop As a Weapon

The Talent Section of the Pageant

From the "Miss America" set of slides, so probably around 1974.

...and I'm going to refrain from the obvious puns.

The Talent Show 5

Yes, Robert, it is a few months since the last "Kids putting on a talent show" slide, so here to bring a smile to your face are the Albert Fish Junior School Luau Dancers.

I bet they'd all love to be reminded of the 5 minutes in the spotlight of fame. I wonder how many are serious professionals now - doctors, policemen, bishops and politicians.  Hmm

Bonus - By artist Marcus Shafer - The Shoe Shine Witch.  I'm a bit of a sucker for Bettie Page art.

The Talent Show 4

It's been a while since the last talent show slide, but I hope it's been worth the wait.  

Human Clown Puppets - If these chaps appeared on The X Factor, or similar shite TV, they'd instantly win the publics vote, but be reduced to tears by merciless Simon Cowell. In revenge, the clowns would appear in his dreams, slowly destroying his sanity.  Well, I can wish.

The Talent Show 3

"Next on the show is little Jenny Szabbo, with her rendition of Sheena Is A Punk Rocker on the oboe."

( Well, I think it's an oboe.)

The Talent Show 2

Following Jessie in the School Talent show - The Fabulous Tumbling Oklahoma Boys !  

Let's hear it for the guys !

PS  Today's sad image

The Talent Show 1

Just had a delivery of new old slides, and there are some damned good uns.

There's a nice selection of Christmas Cocktail parties, and a series which seems to be a talent show at a school. Dating from April 1963, they're magnificent and you're likely to see quite a few of them in the months to come.

Today : Jessie on the electric bass accordion.   Mmmm  Nice !
