All The Milkman's Children
I'm off to the City Halls in Glasgow tonight to see a group of talented teenagers audition for our colleagues at C´óÏó´«Ã½. They're a comedy troupe called All The Milkman's Children and we came across them a couple of years ago as part of the ´óÏó´«Ã½ Blast initiative.
They developed their writing and performing skills through the theatre group in Paisley and every time I've seen them in front of an audience they've been a big hit...mainly because they write material about the trials and tribulations of being a teenager in Scotland. One memorable sketch involved the kind of "smile and pretend you're happy" training that you get when you start work in a fast-food restaurant.
´óÏó´«Ã½ Radio Scotland captured them in action at the two years ago when we gave them a gig at the Spiegeltent. Such confidence...they even poked fun at ´óÏó´«Ã½ childrens' programmes.
So, tonight is an important one for ATMC and I'm going there to cheer them along in front of the TV cameras. Fingers crossed they'll soon be making it big on the small screen.
