Something for the weekend: Glasgow hotel AC Hotel by Marriott Glasgow is searching for a breakfast comedian to entertain guests throughout the Edinburgh Fringe Festival this August.
After the hotel began to experience a spike in demand as accommodation prices in Edinburgh have shot up, and due to its proximity to Queen Street station which offers regular direct trains to Edinburgh, it decided to launch this egg-citing opportunity.
The selected banter merchant will be the toast of the hotel and help festival-goers get into the spirit by cracking jokes as the chefs crack eggs twice a week in August. They will also be able to enjoy some time in Glasgow before their first show and after their last.
The opportunity is open to all festival performers. Wannabe breakfast banter merchants can apply by sending a 60-second video explaining what they will bring to the (breakfast) table and why they are the right person for the role. They should also share their favourite breakfast-related joke, as cracking a few egg-cellent breakfast puns could score some extra points.
The lucky candidate will be paid for their time and receive free accommodation and travel expenses to and from Edinburgh for the entirety of the festival.
Craig Munro, general manager at AC Hotel by Marriott Glasgow, said: “With so many people choosing to stay in Glasgow during the Fringe, we thought we’d like to bring a little bit of it to our guests, and what better way to start the morning than with a set from one of the performers. We always look for new ways to surprise and delight guests. We hope this can make the experience a little easier for them and create some special memories for our guests. We look forward to hiring our first breakfast comedian.”
This sounds like a great opportunity for anyone who thinks they can not only help the hotel serve breakfast, but also a great time!
