Get in touch.

The Late Late Toy Show has issued a call-out to the children of Ireland ahead of The Late Late Toy Show 2020.

The Toy Show is one of the most eagerly awaited programmes on RTÉ each year and applications are now open for children who would like to appear live on this year’s show.

Speaking on his own show on RTÉ Radio 1 this morning, Ryan Tubridy called on those looking to perform or test toys to apply.

“We want to get as many applications in as possible,” he said.

“Normally we open the floodgates in September, but we are opening the floodgates now.

“If you want to be on the Toy Show, if you are a child and you think ‘I can sing I can dance, I can do mimicry, I can do magic, I am the chosen one in the entertainment world’, get in touch. You don’t have to be an extrovert, you don’t have to be beautiful, well, you have to be beautiful inside.

“You can be introverted, extroverted, upstairs, downstairs, inside, outside, it doesn’t matter, all you have to do is be a child. Before you know it, you can be talking to our elves, and you could be on The Late Late Toy Show.”

The Late Late Toy Show is calling on all children across Ireland with any interest in appearing on the show to get in touch and submit their audition tapes at www.rte.ie/latelate.
