It's one thing to have a skill, from the simplest party trick to the Next Big Thing... but could you give an audience what they want, when you didn't even expect an audience in the first place?
Our pals over at Heineken took the notion that it would be a lot of fun to test Irish people’s mettle by inviting some would-be performers to what they thought was an intimate casting to showcase their unique talent.
Heineken had a much better (crueler?!) idea… and surprise them with a packed live audience.
The term ‘stage fright’ took a whole new meaning when the walls of the casting lifted up and participants found themselves in a theatre in front of a jam-packed audience —and a moment of panic when they decided whether to perform or run
From spoon bending to ice sculpturing, the extraordinary talents and the impressive results of the legends’ final task were captured on film and can now be seen in Heineken’s Stage Fright video.
The trusting Irish participants of Stage Fright signed their names up to the unknown after seeing Conor McGregor (MMA Champion), Jennifer Maguire (Radio Broadcaster), and Shane Byrne (former Irish rugby international) reveal their extraordinary hidden talents via the viral online video
Heineken Irish Legend Talent Search. Little did they know that they would star in their very own online sensation.
