Have you ever dreamt of a stage musical put together with only Eurovision songs? A Halloween-inspired show based on a noughties cult classique? A zombie horror comedy filled with blood, brains, and banter? Stop dreaming, it’s happening!

Laugh Laugh Please Please is proud to bring the first draft of Shaun of the Dead: A Eurovision Musical, soon to be found in (some) theatres (maybe). Join us in a delirious fever dream as we pitch a mostly original idea, where we only recycle the movie plot and a dozen Eurovision songs, but everything else is fully on us.

Don’t be a bad zombie and take a peek inside our brains, it’s not too bad in there…

Laugh Laugh Please Please is back in session and after a long summer of tears, karaoke and uncontrollable heat, this is our back to school episode, with the return of an old faithful: The Battles. This time around we have songs with the same titles fighting each other, but if you thought that the language barrier would keep them safe, you know nothing about war.

This month we’ll explore themes beyond borders, and see how different vernaculars produce different art. We explore lyrics about longing, death, love, marriage, faith, and we find that through the years and across countries, music is a universal means of communication after all.

A curveball will hit our two game show participants, with a challenge never seen before, and a vocal performance that will remain engraved in your brains for years to come. Do make sure you stay till the end, you don’t want to miss this.

In this month’s sizzling episode of Laugh Laugh Please Please, we’re turning up the thermostat to a sensible “too hot to handle!” During an unstoppable heatwave, we wisefully decide to delve into a river of lava made of Eurovision tunes: from sultry performances to scorching lyrics, we’re exploring the tracks that have ignited the stage and left audiences sweating.

Whether it’s songs about fiery passion, energetic choreographies, hot piles of mess, or you know, literal fire, these entries push boundaries and set hearts ablaze (and no, we haven’t featured Embers this time). Tune in as we dissect thermometer-breaking moments and what kind of burnt marks they’ve engraved in our memories.

No matter the temperature, there’s no way we’ll have an episode without a friendly game, and it’s time for Just Get Out Of My Life. This is one episode you won’t want to miss—things are about to get hawt.

July is a super special month at Laugh Laugh Please Please Studios, and although we’re not the type to toot our own respective horn with a cheesy birthday party, we will use any and all excuses to indulge into our second favourite musical event ever: karaoke.

For today’s episode we’ve curated the best, most varied, internationally acclaimed, proclaimed, declaimed, and singalonged Eurovision playlist with a collection of the top bangers to perform at karaoke night. Whether you’re a delusional diva that will always shoot for the stars, a crowd pleaser that craves the audience adulation, or a shy songbird that will never go on stage without a trusty +1, we got you covered - our expert selection is #inclusive.

Cherry on top, you say? Of course we’re rolling out a fresh edition of The Common Linnet so that you and everyone in the room can join in and sing along, because just listening to songs is just not as fun anymore. So, get those vocal cords ready, because we're always on the lookout for some great backup singers!

In this episode, we will go over some of the most heartbreaking entries that have ever graced the ESC stage: songs that will tug at your heartstrings, through emotional vocals, moving lyrics, or melancholic melodies, ranging from those that will produce a cinematic single-tear moment, to those that will make you sob uncontrollably while hugging your pillow.

To break the sentimentality, we’re also bringing a new twist to our regular gaming session, so stay till the end to find out how high the stakes will be for the rest of the year.

Has anyone heard of Post-Eurovision Relief?

On a regular year, the period immediately after the Grand Final is filled with a weird sense of grief, instant melancholia, for what fills our lives with most happiness is once again a year away. However, in 2024, when every second of the ESC-week was a constant stream of breaking news, backstage drama, and randomness beyond belief, one is kind of happy that there’s finally some room to breathe.

This episode attempts to break down some of what went on on both sides of the stage: the performances we’ll try to remember despite the bitterness, and the decisions that behind closed doors muddened the memory of what would have otherwise been an incredible edition.

This week a new edition of our favourite contest will take us all for another emotional rollercoaster, but before all is said and done, we wanted to look back at all other previous years in which Sweden got to play the hosting game. Let’s dive into all those artists that have won big, lost hard, sung in home turf, and pulled our heart strings in a nostalgia-filled episode featuring hits from 1975 through 2016 - we’re closing the 2024 season in absolute style!

Is it not the ultimate irony for us to give over 40 minutes of our time to an episode dedicated to songs we allegedly don't have time for? We keep challenging the status quo.

In all honesty, right as the Eurovision rehearsal week kicks off, we decided it was the best of occasions to cleanse our palates, brains, and bad vibes in order to put our best foot forward and get rid of all judgement. In this episode we go over some of the Eurovision tunes that we cannot seem to enjoy, and we try to discover if they’re just plain bad and Europe agreed, or if perhaps we’re simply not the audience.

To top it all off, the test of all tests - put your ESC knowledge on the line, because this time you’ll get to play a Double Common Linnet. Can you imagine five songs in the history of the contest that have not one, but two things in common? If you can’t, don’t worry, we’ve done it for you, you just have to stay until the end of the episode to find out…
