Bug Jam’s Got Talent Main Stage, Saturday, time tbc We’re giving contestants 3 minutes each to show off their talent on the Bug Jam main stage. The great thing is, YOU pick what your talent is!

We’ve always known that Bug Jammer’s were a talented lot, and in its first two years, BJGT has proved exactly that. Much like its predecessor (Mr & Miss Bug Jam), BJGT is certain to be funny, feisty and farcical. If you can entertain a crowd for 3 minutes, then you’re in with a chance. It’s no longer good enough to just look pretty… although much like the fickle world of pop… it can of course help!

So, how does BJGT work?

We invite to the stage contestants one at a time, and they are given just three minutes in front of the crowd. If an act is spectacularly terrible, it might be considerably less than that! But the important thing is to impress the three judges and win over the audience. Once everyone has performed in turn, the top three acts are selected by the judges and then the crowd pick the winner.

What “talents” are OK?

Singing, dancing, firebreathing, juggling, painting… whatever!

What is the prize?

Love, adulation, a trophy, a pat on the back, a kiss on the cheek and £cash. Every contestant gets a ticket refund too to thank them for taking part.

How can I take part?

Pre-entries are now closed, but if you want to take part, please visit the main stage 30 minutes before the show - there might be some space available to perform on the day.

We will provide you with: A stage and a mic, and if you have any props you need, such as a CD to sing to etc, make sure you bring it with you.

When is it?

Main Stage, Saturday, time TBC.

Can I ask one more question?

No.

Entry open to over 16 years of age only. We can’t guarantee to protect youngsters from disappointment or foul language, so this part of Bug Jam is for adults only.
