TOY SHOW AUDITIONS

It's the official beginning to the festive season, a magical night of fun and Christmas spirit as the Late Late studio is transformed into a Christmas Wonderland. As families gather together and letters to Santa are finalised The Toy Show lets you preview all this years biggest Christmas gifts. The studio is packed full of fun toys, that are reviewed by talented youngsters who've gone through the gruelling audition process! They've been tested and proved their worth....and so can YOU!

There is ONE.....yes ONE....very very sought after place remaining!

That's right...one of our young listeners will be filling that most wanted spot! We're looking for kids under 12 to come and audition with us live on air.

Tell us about yourself and your hobbies, showcase any party-ticks you have and generally impress us for your chance to take the coveted place on stage with Ryan Tubridy for his very first Late Late Toy Show on Friday November 27th.

On Friday, after hours of judges deliberating, Ryan will join us in studio to call the lucky talented youngster who will represent the Colm and Jim-Jim Breakfast Show on the Late Late Toy Show!

THURSDAY'S RECOMMENDS

It's that time of the week again.

This week, Jacqui recommended having a Green Party in your home Saturday night if you're not going to match. As part of the Going Green on November 14 campaign, she suggested getting green decorations, eating green food like green M&Ms or have a green curry. We want the whole country to go green on Saturday night, not just the people in Croke Park.

Colm recommended another campaign, Care to Drive, which has been set up by the Irish Cancer Society. It's a volunteer driving scheme, a solution in supporting patients with transport issues. For the last year or so, it's just been operating as a pilot scheme in Dublin but now, it's going to expand and become available nationwide so more people will be needed to get involved.  

If you'd like to find out more about how you could help in your area, please contact the Irish Cancer Society on (01) 2310522 or email transport@irishcancer.ie

Finally, Jim-Jim recommended a number of comedy gigs that are coming up this weekend. Jason Manford is playing Vicar Street on Friday November 13th and Jason Byrne is playing the same venue on Saturday November 14th (with coverage on a big screen beforehand of Ireland v France).

And you can hear interviews with both these guys below
