Arty Facts
[Repeated from Sunday 1.30pm.] Master J presents the third of eight different Arts Based Game Shows That Won’t Work. Bravely attempting to make the show passable are guests: music producer King Ahmed, model Sara Pereiro, screenwriter James Ruzicka, and musical theatre actor Karen Holmes. They will battle it out in this week’s game show, “Simply the Best – or if not the best than at least most artistically credible person on this weeks panel”. They’ll be judged on talent, looks, achievements, and as is the tradition on these sorts of shows by the size of their bribes. Expect impromptu singing, comedy, bragging, and a healthy amount of begging. Rules and point giving will be explained – you can play along at home. Expect fun, moments of awkwardness, and to have to sign a NDA so you can never talk about what you have just listened to. For more information visit Master J on Facebook.
