Auditions | How you can be on the next season of YOU CAN’T ASK THAT

Season 7 of the ABC’s eight-episode, award-winning, series You Can’t Ask That is now in production and we’re looking for more participants, and more questions.

Over the past six seasons, more than 10,000 Australians have sent in curious, shocking, and often hilarious questions, and 427 Australians have bravely taken a seat to answer those questions, helping us understand their lives.

This heart-warming, life-affirming show cannot be made without the help of the Australian public, and once again, we need you!

This year we’re putting the following subjects under the microscope: Dementia, Bogans, Juvenile Detention, Gay Men, Porn Performers, Heroin Users, Models, Postnatal Depression, Wrongly Incarcerated, Prescription Drug Addicts,  Jewish and Adopted.

If you fit one of the groups for season 7 and would like to apply to be on You Can’t Ask That, or have questions for the above groups go to: https://ab.co/askaquestion

Series Director and Producer, Kirk Docker, said;

“People often ask if we make the questions up ourselves, but honestly we could never be that clever. The input from the public is what makes this show.

The blunter and more offensive the question, the more fun people have answering them. Because they’ve generally heard them all before – either whispered behind their back or yelled from a passing car – but it’s rare they get to answer them on their own terms.”

The most successful ABC format ever, You Can’t Ask That confronts prejudice and discrimination by offering searing insights into the lives of diverse Australians who live with judgement and scrutiny.

By asking only the hard questions (submitted anonymously online) and allowing interviewees to answer in their own words, the series adds new voices, surprising insights, and fresh perspectives to subjects often dismissed.

All episodes of the past six series of You Can’t Ask That are available to watch on ABC iview.
