In the film 'Cool Hand Luke', Luke challenges himself to eat 50 eggs in 1 hour. Our set does not last 1 hour, so instead we challenge an audience member to eat 50 egg sweets in 3 minutes, the time it takes us to play 'A Man Can't Eat Fifty Eggs'.
We intend to do this at every 'Cool Hand Luke' show we play

Participant - STEPH
Success! Completed 50 eggs during the final chorus. Well done Steph!
19/02/11 - Cambridge
Participant - BRYAN from Surviving Sunday
There was nobody else there to do it! Success again, nonchalant completion around the 2:45 mark. Well done Bryan!
09/03/2011 - Southampton
Participant - GEORGIE
Success! Final chorus again, just in time. Drink assisted, but still mightily impressive for by far our smallest competitor yet. Well done Georgie!
Participant - CHRIS
Fail! Sorry Chris, you just didn't go at it hard enough. Get mad at them eggs!
09/04/2011 - Birmingham
Participant - TONY
Fail! More enthusiasm please Tony! So many eggs left over that Beans on Toast was stamping all over them during his headline set.
10/04/2011 - Preston
Participant - KATE
Semi-success! A brave effort from Kate, who put in some top dancing too, but she did share the eggs round. However, we would much rather this than see eggs go to waste. Well done Kate!
11/04/2011 - Liverpool
Participant - DAN
Success! Go Dan - striking a blow for the skinny egg eaters out there. Well done Dan!
21/04 - Portsmouth - Johnny - COMPLETE (just)
We had to prolong the last chord so that Johnny could stuff them in. Well done Johnny!
29/04 - Chichester - Hamish - COMPLETE (just)
