Founded in 2000, the Newcomershow has established an exciting entry into the prestigious world of German Variety. For an intense week of rehearsals and nine brilliant evenings of performance, rising artists from all over the world meet at Krystallpalast Varieté in Leipzig to share passion, dedication and inspiration.
Judged by agents and directors from renown German Theatres, the Newcomershow offers prizes, professional support and priceless experience.
The Newcomershow presents nine spectacular evenings of comedy, acrobatic artistry and innovation.
We offer both new and seasoned professionals (of any age) a chance to deput their talent in German Variety.
After Sunday´s Gala show, the Festival provides a meet-and-greet buffet dinner where artists can personally meet the leading agents and directors from German Variety.
The festival prizes are in form of contract offers from the largest and most prestigious Variety theatres in Germany. Prize winners are guarenteed contract offers - which means you´ve made it! You´re performing in German Variety Theatre.
Not only that, but throughout the festival weeks, artists will have access to support and advice from our fabulous and experienced staff on anything from professionalism in emailing to business card design and how to receive and sign contracts.
