Following the enormously successful Hey Hey It’s Saturday reunion shows last year, a full series will burst on to our television screens in the very near future.

With preparations in full swing, a nationwide search is now on to find unique acts from across the country to perform on the iconic Red Faces segment.

Auditions will be held at the following locations:

SATURDAY, 20 March

ADELAIDE NWS CHANNEL 9 STUDIOS, 202 TYNTE STREET, NORTH ADELAIDE

SUNDAY, 21 March

BRISBANE HARVEST RAIN THEATRE, MINA PARADE WAREHOUSE, 81 MINA PDE,ALDERLEY

"Red Faces is all about putting your tongue firmly in your cheek and giving us the most absurd , but hilarious, act you can think of,” said Hey Hey host Daryl Somers.

“We've always offered prize money, but now the stakes are higher - $2,000 for the winner, $1,000 for second and $500 for third. This means, everyone's a winner...even the loser."

What started as a send-up of television variety show New Faces on the original Hey Hey in the early ‘80s went on to become arguably the show’s most popular segment.

Red Faces became synonymous with its surly judge, ex-Skyhooks lead guitarist and breakfast radio host, Red Symons. The segments have become a classic part of Australian television history and have been immortalised in four best-selling DVDs.

Famous names that appeared on Red Faces before they hit the big-time include Cate Blanchett, Marg Downey, Rob Sitch, Magda Szubanski and Brian Nankervis.

Acts coming to the auditions should be no longer than two minutes and must email redfaces@heyhey.tv to register their intention to audition.
