Casts include:
- someone famous and American you thought was dead
- a ventriloquist
- a magician
- a famous tv comedian you thought was dead, or at least didn’t need the money
- stars from reality tv you have never heard of (so the posters tell you who they are)
- stars from soap operas you have never heard of (so the posters tell you who they are)
- pantos at local theatres will have local celebrities (like a tv weatherman or weatherwoman, person)
- not The Krankies any more as they have retired
The story will be structured so that each ‘star’ gets a period to do their act.
The female lead will be showing lots of leg to keep the fathers interested.
