Australia, you’re getting a new primetime variety show next year.
Producers are searching for “Australia’s most entertaining act” for an “all-new variety show coming to primetime in 2015”
FremantleMedia is auditioning for the undisclosed show with “dancers, illusionists, acrobats, animal acts, comedians, singers, ventriloquists, bands, circus acts, acts with your mum, acts with you gran, acts with a twist, acts that put a smile on your face, crazy acts, kooky acts, the weird, the wonderful and the truly unique!
“From high kicks to high notes. From bone-breaking contortion to side-splitting comedy. Performing animals to dancing grannies and cute kids. We’re opening the doors to any and all, big or small, amateur or pro, to take to our stage and have a crack.
“With pure variety entertainment at its heart this brand-new show promises to be a non-stop roller coaster ride of laughs and magic moments.”
While the show sounds like it is auditioning for Australia’s Got Talent, the show clearly indicates it’s an “all-new” show.
Last year FremantleMedia acquired the local rights for Israeli series I Can Do That! in which celebrities choose an act to master in a week before they perform it live.

Are the auditions still open and if so how do I apply as the link in the story doesnt seem to be working, thanks.
Hopefully they’ll use only professionals, not a bunch of amateurs. There’s a squillion people around the country working professionally (albeit for peanuts) who would love to be seen on TV.
If it’s another tedious talent show, I’ll throw up.
How about they invest in some script writers and hire some actors instead.
Maybe its an original concept.
the only thing missing from that list is Bernard King.
Pot Of Gold, 2015-style?
Agree with nik c, sounds just like Australia’s got Talent, possibly with a few more stupid acts, nine was going to do wonders with that when they secured it after seven let it go, and really it was exactly the same obviously that type of show is not popular at present.
I was only saying last night how we need yet another vacuous shiny floor show where everyone makes a million bucks except the desperate-to-get-on-TV talent who are paid peanuts.
Sounds like Australia’s Got Talent
Maybe it’s for Ten or Nine. If it’s for Nine, I’m guessing this will be replacing The Voice Kids.
Sounds more like another talent show; not a variety program. And a quality variety program wouldn’t have a public casting call.
And a quality variety program wouldn’t have “Performing animals to dancing grannies and cute kids”.
No.
Curious as to what channel will end up screening it.
