East opened 1C, as south you overcall 1D. DOnt you? HOw to continue after 1D? Can you find this nice slam?

How about :

(E) S (W) N

(1♣) 1♦ (P) 2♥*

(P) 3♣** (P) 3NT

(P) 4♦*** (P) 4♠****

(P) 4NT >>>> 6♦

* Fit Jump 5+♥ with 4+♦ - 1RF

** Initially showing ♣ stop and looking for 3NT

*** Slam Try in ♦

**** ♠ Control - acceptable hand for ♦ Slam

With club King well-placed, an Ace-6th suit and full of aces and kings, I'd say 1D is an underbid.

After double, 2H, 3D, 4D, going slam is quite reasonable.

(1♣)
1♦ 1♥
2NT 3NT

1♥ = natural, 5 cards
2NT = 15-17, max overcall, tendency to unbal shape (else overcall a direct 1NT)

To be honest NO, not at the table.

In a bidding contest, quiz is another question.
