Tonight At The Museum on ABC in March – Get ready to explore the wild, the weird and the wonderfully unexpected when the ABC’s brand-new entertainment show Tonight At The Museum premieres on Wednesday 4 March at 8.00pm on ABC TV and ABC iview.
Filmed on location at the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery, the eight-episode season is hosted by comedian Alex Lee and features four celebrity guests per episode competing in a series of games exploring real objects from the museum’s diverse collection.
The impressive line-up of players includes British comedy favourite Alan Davies, alongside a long list of beloved Australian stars including Adam Briggs, Alexei Toliopoulos, Becky Lucas, Brett Blake, Bjorn Stewart, Claire Hooper, Colin Lane, Danielle Walker, Emma Holland, Lizzy Hoo, Luke McGregor, Mark Humphries, Merrick Watts, Nazeem Hussain, Peter Helliar, Sashi Perera, Steph Tisdell, Susie Youssef, Takashi Wakasugi, and Zoë Coombs Marr.
From decoding the reproductive rituals of the Tasmanian handfish with help from the museum’s zoologist, to bluffing their way through improvised “guided tours” of artefacts they’ve never laid eyes on, to recreating historical portraits using whatever household items they can wrangle, no challenge is too bizarre, as they see the funny side of our history.
And it’s not just bragging rights the players are competing for: the winner will have an item of their own put on display in the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery for all to see.
