#SchumanShow Join our favourite EU spokesperson, Margaritis Funkyboogaloo-Smythe, as he brings you... a family meeting? That's right, this family is getting ready for a vacation - and they need to discuss the logistics! You might know him from the Midday Briefing, but that doesn't mean Margarities doesn't have a personal life too...

Have you ever brought your work home? Some may consider you a workaholic, but sometimes it's just about bringing some workplace organisation strategies to other areas of life! In this sketch, we find our Midday Briefing regular Margaritis holding a family meeting with his wife and daughter. The topic? Discussing where to go for the summer. You'll get to see the EU spokesperson in a whole different light than you're used to... sort of. In any case, his daughter Melody finds out more about her father from the stories her mother Mabel tells her - such as when he used to be a junior DG COMM staffer. Nonetheless, it'll take some convincing to come to a consensus on the family holiday before Melody goes off to the College of Europe in the fall. In case you've ever wondered what European Union officials look like after years of service... this might offer you some insight. Watch now!

✨ Written and performed by Paul Dallison, Rozana Radu, and Hille Auvinen. Director Gabriel Soler. Theatre coach & Choreographer Edward McMillan.
