A life less ordinary

Want to be a singer/dancer/actor (circle as appropriate), do you? Or are you just an attention junkie? Either way, Ireland's first-ever Showbiz Bootcamp (featuring your guide, "life coach" Judymay Murphy) will sort you out

Unsure of your talents? A slave to unscrupulous third parties? If so, you may want to enroll in Ireland's first Showbiz Bootcamp which takes place between November 22 and 24.

A "three-day intensive workshop for actors, singers, musicians, dancers, comedians and all performers", the Bootcamp has already been successfully staged in New York, LA and London.

"I've written for Bull Island, done sitcom training in Los Angeles, danced in New York and got my degree in Drama Studies from Trinity, so I know how all the different facets of the entertainment industry work," explains Judymay Murphy, the Dublin "life coach" behind the Bootcamp. "One day people are sitting there waiting for the phone to ring, the next they're landing top agents, roles in American TV shows, record deals…

"Some of the turnarounds are phenomenal. We can also help people work out whether they really want a career in the industry, or are just seeking more attention. Whichever it is, they're likely to leave the Bootcamp with a much better sense of direction, professionally and personally."
