Twelve contestants from across Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Bronx, Staten Island, and New Jersey will take the famed Amateur Night at the Apollo stage to compete for bragging rights and a chance to win $20,000. In a night of neighborhood rivalry, artists from the five New York City boroughs and New Jersey will bring their singing, dancing, and more to Harlem and the nation’s original talent show, Amateur Night at The Apollo.
Amateur Night is hosted by the comedian Capone. Each show begins with a festive pre-party with the longtime Amateur Night band and music by DJ Jess and Set It Off Man Greginald Spencer. Throughout the show CP Lacey, the resident “Executioner,” sweeps booed contestants off the stage.
