You’d probably look something like this…

Anyway, here’s some stuff that I sort of spoke about a bit in Episode 14…

First up, the man who teaches you how to do Kung Fu over a webcam…

I once learnt French from a man on my computer. Then I realised it wasn’t my computer at all, he’d just cut a hole in a box and popped his head through. While I was distracted, his brother was swapping the labels around on all of my jam jars. I don’t know what’s what anymore…but I do know French.

Secondly, was Mr. Wong at the “Carrie-Oke” contest in Kansas singing “Before He Cheats” by Carrie Underwood.

If Karaoke was a drug, I think this guy’s had too much…someone should get him a bottle of Lucozade, a banoffee pie and series 1-5 of ‘Sister Sister’, because that is going to be one hell of a come-down!

And lastly, don’t forget to check out Alex Moir’s entry for: Tell Us Your Story!

What a lovely chap. Now tell us YOUR story or I’ll make it up and it’ll be rubbish and in it you’ll have pineapples for hands…no one wants that, not even Bob Hoskins…and he wants a lot of crazy stuff.

Right then, that’s all from me.

I’ll leave you with this note.

BYE!

And this time the spotlight is on Singer/Songwriter, Alex Hall from Dorset. Alex uploaded his epic “Motion Picture” a while ago now, however, both the video and song left a lasting impression on all of us here at 1Click HQ and on our Star Coaches too, having received a “One to Watch” badge from both Alex Donelly and Stevie Lange!

With such a creative and fun video, we thought Alex should have pride of place on our vitual mantelpiece that is our carousel…

You can keep up-to-date with all things Alex Hall on Twitter and Facebook.

This week I have found something more amazing than that time you casually threw a cupcake over your left shoulder and unwittingly aimed it so it bounced off your gran’s head and into the mouth of the kid next door dressed as Darth Vader (best halloween ever!)

Imagine every guilty pleasure film you have ever guiltily enjoyed. The kind of film you watch after everyone’s left the house and you can settle down with a pot of ice-cream, a spoon and the hello kitty pyjamas your mum bought for your birthday and you pretend you never wear. Now, we’re probably all thinking of different films, but guaranteed they’ve all got an awesome dance sequence in them. I’m talking Footloose, Grease, Dirty Dancing, Coyote Ugly, High School Musical, Billy Elliot, Saturday Night Fever, Moulin Rouge etc. etc.

Now take those, add a pinch of some classics (Singing in the Rain, Blue Skies, Mary Poppins) a dash of cult (Rocky Horror Picture Show, Clerks 2) and a couple of curve balls (Pulp Fiction, Austin Powers) and by jove, you’ve cooked up this week’s Viral Video…

Allow to sit for 4 minutes 44 seconds and tuck into the most awesome dance montage the internet has ever seen:

Dancing at the Movies – Music Video

With influences from Elvis Costello, Mumford & Sons and Jeff Buckley, we can see how this 19-year-old singer from Birmigham is sure to be a popular choice once the competitions roll out. But enough of us telling you about him! Here’s the man himself…

Don’t forget! If you want to tell us your story and be part of Team Awesome (yes, I did just make that up) then please do so! We’d love to hear from you. For more details, simply click here.

You can also keep up-to-date with Alex on his Facebook, Twitter and MySpace too! He’s well social innit…

I have been going for nearly 10 years now and every time, without fail, the entire city transforms into a wonderland of creativity and performing arts. For three weeks, debating halls, bars, council buildings and run down car parks become underground fringe venues, sporting music, comedy, theatre, dance and everything in-between. Even the streets are filled with performers enticing you into their shows and the legendary street festival, occupied by fire breathers juggling pineapples whilst balancing on a 10ft pole and buskers showcasing their latest music.

It is awesome, for everyone involved. But it is the 1Click2Fame of the festival world! The performers upload their shows to fringe venues and the judges rate by way of ticket sales and acclaim…it’s kind of like 1Click2Fame…with less scary Scottish men.

Anyways, if you want to know more, I’ve been up here for 5 days with the chicken so we thought we’d share our experience with you…

The tricky bit is, as a punter, what to see! You can discover some amazing talent…and a lot of rubbish. Well, I thought I’d make it easy for you by giving my top 5 acts from the Fringe…from the 5 days I was there!

I’ve narrowed it down to acts that spend the rest of the year touring, so even if the Fringe isn’t your thing or you’re not there, you may get a chance to catch them near you sometime, or just sound cool when someone mentions the show and you say “oh I’ve heard of them, Tom said they’re awesome. Oh, you haven’t met my friend Tom? He’s amazing, he has a chicken and completed his cycling proficiency when he was only 9.”

Anyway, here it is, my Five Fringe Favourites…

The Boy With Tape on his Face
I saw this briefly at 1am during a stand up set at the Gilden Balloon and it is genius, alternative comedy at its best. In the show, Sam Wills fills an hour without uttering a word (mostly because he has tape on his face.) Instead he plays with objects, music and audience members, getting people up on stage to dance, dress up and act as props in his next absurd trick. Really imaginative physical comedy. No word on whether Sam’s sticking around in England or heading back to his home town, but keep an eye on his website for more

Dead Cat Bounce
There are a lot of musical comedians about, Boothby Graffoe, Bill Bailey even groups like Flight of the Conchords, Tripod and Axis of Awesome, but Dead Cat Bounce are an international rock & roll comedy supergroup…I KNOW! The first comedy band I’ve seen and it was incredible. For an hour, these guys played every genre of music with skilled musicianship and even more skilled comedic timing. The lyrics were hilarious, the performance was hilarious and a ginger man in leopard-print-leggings playing drums was…strangely arousing. The guys are from Ireland, but are constantly gigging all over the place so check out their next one here.

Hit Me! The Life & Rhymes of Ian Dury
Not knowing a lot about Ian Dury or being able to name more than a couple of songs by the Blockheads, I wasn’t sure what to expect from this show but I was so glad that I caught it while I was there. The show is an incredible piece of theatre laced with high energy musical performances, comedy and emotion. Behind the perfect portrayal of Dury on stage, the two actors invite you into an extraordinary story into the brutal reality of his private life and of the relationship between Ian Dury and his tour manager, minder and friend Fred ‘Spider’ Rowe with some interesting and funny stories along the way. (And it turned out, unknowingly, I am actually an avid fan of Ian Dury and the Blockheads!) The show is now on tour, so be sure to check out when it’s close to you here – well worth checking out.

Potted Panto
The ‘Potted’ franchise has become an absolute for me at the Fringe with ‘Potted Potter’ and ‘Potted Pirates’ quickly becoming festival favourites for me in previous years. Dan and Jeff (from CBBC) cram all the classic pantomimes into 70 minutes…in the middle of the summer, with Jeff playing all the leading roles and Dan covering the ugly sisters, the seven dwarves and most impressively depicts an epic battle between King Rat and Dick Wittington’s cat all on his own. This was the funniest thing I’ve seen all Fringe and I would recommend it to anyone. Perhaps it was because I hadn’t read the Harry Potter books or because pirates with beards scare me a little bit, but this was to me their best show by far. Their website states that they’re in London over Christmas so definitely keep an eye out for it. (’Dan’ also looks a lot like my chicken…spooky)

The Blues Brothers Banned
What can I say any more than this is the best show in the world ever. Without any bias at all, I can honestly say, if you haven’t seen this show, you haven’t lived. Mostly because one of the lead singers is the sexiest thing ever to grace this planet, but partly because the 10 strong line up produce some incredible, high-energy, funkifying, soulful, rhythm and blues…and it’s pretty funny too. They’re constantly gigging so keep checking up on the website or join the facebook to find out more.

Cheeky Extra Five Stand-Up Favourites…

Also saw some great stand-up while I was out there, so be sure to keep an eye on:

Daniel Kitson

Tony Law

Paul Foot

Daniel Atkinson

Pete Johansson

Nothing you could possibly willingly buy and wear could make you more of an idiot or alienate you more from normality and your friends and family…until now!

Yes, just when you thought we’d seen the end of people trying to re-invent the blanket by cutting holes in it and sticking on socks, we found this floating around the internet: ‘The Snazzy Napper’ offering a “Snazzy way to catch up on your sleep when you are away from home.” Now, I’m not sure how you’d define the word “snazzy”. But when I read that, I was imagining some sort of crazy ‘Bond’ gadgetry: a spoon that turned into an air bed or a pair of pants that stretch into a hammock. Those things would be snazzy. What I wasn’t expecting was a piece of cloth that you tie to your head…that’s not snazzy. That’s the opposite of snazzy. It’s rubbish…y.

This video was uploaded a few months ago, but has been watched more times than the VHS I recorded of the Muppet Movie when I was 5 that I recently donated to the local Library where it is now rented 4 times a week…by me.

Ladies and Gentleman: the Snazzy Napper…

Imagine now that you could combine the two into some sort of awesome super-viral the likes of which the world has never seen. The Secret Guild of Viral Ninja kings have struck again! This time with a corgi flopping himself into Shuswap Lake, B.C, Canada.

The corgi, known to friends as ‘Cooper’, has not only brightened up over 1 million viewer’s week with his funny flopping, but in my opinion, coined the most awesome phrase ‘Corgi Flop’ which I have learnt you can apply to any situation…

For example:
“Hey, what do you call that hairstyle?”
“Oh this? it’s a corgi flop”

Or:
“Do you want to lick my ice-cream?”
“No, because you may have corgi flop”

Maybe even as an insult:
“Let me tell you about the joys of scientology?”
“Leave me alone you massive corgi flop”

or even
“What’s that dog doing up that tree?”
“Fetching my pants. We threw them up there by mistake and drew straws to see who would have to get them and he lost so..yeah…he’s getting my pants”

…couldn’t figure out how to fit it in there…but that actually happened to me once in Taiwan. By the time the dog had managed to get down the tree I had forgotten how to put the pants on and went without for a while. It was strangely liberating…except for the bit in prison.

Anyway, here it is…the official and first ever use of the ‘Corgi Flop’.

Watch it now, thank me later…

Anyway, if you haven’t seen this video yet then you have obviously not been on the internet in a long time…or if you have, you’ve had too much to do and hidden under a virtual rock of internet banking, twitter updates and stalking your Gran on facebook, hoping that she’ll slip up on a status update and reveal the secret ingredient that makes her Lemon drizzle cake so moist.

Well it’s time for you to step back into the virtual sun and bask in its proverbial rays of streamy video gold. And what better way to start than with this weeks video from YouTuber Hungrybear9562…

We’ve all been blown away by a rainbow before, it is a beautiful thing, but this takes that to a new level…DOUBLE RAINBOW!

It’s starting to look like a triple rainbow…
