Shirley Broun
For a decade, Award-winning National Entertainment Magazine Variety Today was published to provide a voice for Australia’s Entertainment Industry. Many entertainers were actively involved in its publication.
On With the Show Entertainment continues this tradition but in a way that incorporates the modern love-affair with stage, screen and the showbiz world in general. On with the Show Entertainment is the brain-child of Shirley Broun, Founding Editor/Publisher of Variety Today (circa 1990-1999).
Shirley has been involved in the entertainment industry from a young age and as a teenager began to report on the industry in her new career role as a journalist. At the same time she was an enthusiastic assistant to Twin Towns Services Club's Entertainment Manager Max Miller and as such dealt personally with renowned artists/entertainers from around the world.
In 1990 Shirley founded Variety Today to fulfil her dream to give Australian entertainers a voice ... many were involved in the full colour magazine as writers, photographers and in special industry reports. Shirley was also invited to be a judge on major industry award events such as The prestigious Australian Entertainment MO Awards in Sydney, The Queensland Wallace Awards, Queensland Recording Industry Awards, Gold Coast Music Awards to name just a few. She was also publicist for The Four Kinsmen as well as fulfilling roles in artist management, bookings, PR for visiting artists such as International Illusionist Joe Labero and more.
Variety Today was read by entertainers around the globe including Michael Jackson, Wayne Newton, The Bee Gees, Des O'Connor, and more.
Shirley has now launched `On With the Show Entertainment' to showcase a brand new era of entertainment, along with Flashbacks to the entertainment stories and photographs of the 90s (as published in Variety Today 1990-1999) to be enjoyed by all.
