Graham Norton discovers variety is the spice of TV life.

Hosted by Graham Norton, When Will I Be Famous? is an exciting new live show for all the family showcasing the very best variety acts from the UK and around the world. Each week, different acts put their skills to the vote with the winner taking home a cash prize of £10,000.

Illusionists, contortionists, dancers, cabaret artists and comedy acts all compete in a series of head-to-head challenges. A panel of three celebrity judges pass comment on the acts – which range from seasoned variety professionals to complete novices.

A panel of 101 pre-registered viewers then vote from home and make the decision as to which acts go through to the live final.

In the second show of the evening the finalists compete with each other, with the overall winner being decided by an open public phone vote, with all profits going to Comic Relief.

Many of the acts which don't make it through the audition process – ranging from the breathtaking to the bizarre – also feature as part of the programme in Graham's Sideshow.

Viewers can register to become part of the 101 Armchair Judges who appear on the programme each week here.
