how does someone like shane richie make a living?

[southeastastra]

acting here and there

IMHO he looked like he was on coke on the one show last week. It was uncomfortably unfunny tv.

He'll also be doing speaking and handing out awards at things like the National Association of Estate Agents (there's probably no such thing, but I mean generalised random indistry awards) plus voiceovers plus opening supermarkets and stuff. Plus panto in the winter season.

He also does the game show Don't forget the lyrics.

it must be depressing being him

He was in that programme last night - Whatever is takes, he does Dont Forget the lyrics and the voiceover for the Bounty/Plenty advert.

i LOVE dont forget the lyrics

Getting paid for going to the opening of an envelope - and then not being particularly funny ! Repeat fees for EE etc ?

Believe me - the National Association of Estate Agents has never had anyone as thrilling as Shane Richie as an after dinner speaker.

Doesn't panto take up a large part of the year?

Do they still have summer shows in seaside towns? You know the ones I mean - the variety type shows at the pier theatre etc

They always used to be good for keeping people like SR off the streets
