Newcomer show
The Newcomershow is a variety festival of the Krystallpalast Varieté Leipzig , at which international artists appear in order to get new engagements in the German variety shows. The newcomer show is the only variety festival in Germany.
history
Launched in 2000, the show ran twice a year until 2003, after which it was held annually. The show is organized annually on the first weekend in July by the Krystallpalast Varieté Leipzig . The highlight of this event is the last evening of the festival, at which agents, directors and artistic directors of well-known variety theaters in Germany are present and award prizes to the artists. The aim of this event is that the artist and the professional audience get into conversation with each other and that new commitments arise for both sides. With the expansion of the festival from one game day to two game days (2008), from two game days to three game days (2012) and from three game days to four game days (2015), the festival was able to secure a permanent place in the annual schedule of international variety festivals. On Sunday, the day of the award ceremony, there are usually 60 to 80 industry experts present. In 2020 the newcomer show will celebrate its 20th anniversary from July 2nd to 12th.
