Join us for a talent show with a difference… where the acts have no idea what they’re going to perform! Expect the unexpected…. plus lots of laughs and a heap of mishaps!
Aberdeen Arts Centre is on the lookout for adventurous performers who don’t take themselves too seriously to take part in our unique fundraising show this summer.
There are just 10 performance spaces available as we raise funds for the Save Aberdeen Arts Centre campaign.
Two weeks before the show, each act will be told which ‘untalent’ they will have to perfect in the ensuing days – think worm charming, a dramatic reading of a work email, or lip syncing to train station announcements. Then it will be up to the game-for-a-laugh participants to create their acts in the lead up to the big night.
Whether you want to watch from the comfort of the audience or take a leap onto the stage, we’d love to see you for what promises to be a fantastically fun evening in support of the home of grassroots arts in Aberdeen.
News About The UnTalent Show at Aberdeen Arts Centre
About the Theatre
Aberdeen Arts Centre is an independent arts venue in the heart of Aberdeen, operated by registered charity Castlegate Arts Ltd for over a quarter of a century.
For more than 60 years, Aberdeen Arts Centre has played a crucial role in the north east’s vibrant arts scene through its programme of performances, Creative Learning Programme for children and adults, and an Artist Development Programme to support local professional creatives.
In May 2025, the centre launched the Save Aberdeen Arts Centre campaign – a three-year fundraising drive to raise £660,000 to secure its future. Individuals and corporate sponsors can find out more and donate at https://www.aberdeenartscentre.com/save-aberdeen-arts-centre.
Aberdeen Arts Centre encompasses a 350-seater auditorium; café bar; flexible spaces for performances, events, exhibitions and meetings; and the Children’s Theatre, opened by Catherine Hollingworth in the 1950s as a pioneering youth theatre (the first of its kind in the UK) and now used as a vital resource for professional artist development.
