A great vibe
by DocMrD on 5/4/24The Apollo's Historic Theater - New YorkLots of laughs and some real talent on stage. But the executioner ia best!
Aspiring musicians, singers, dancers, comedians, rappers and spoken word artists try their best to please the audiences that can make them an Apollo Legend. Get ready to cheer or jeer as you decide who stays and who gets booted off stage. At Amateur Night, you tell the performers to be good or be gone!
Amateur Night at the Apollo is hosted by the comedian Capone. Each show begins with a festive pre-party featuring video and music by DJ Jess. Also, keep a lookout for master impressionist C.P. Lacey, the resident Executioner who sweeps bad talent off the stage.

The crowd/vibe was VERY gentrified and so long gone are the days where you had to actually be stellar to avoid the Sandman but myself and my family still had alot of fun!
Amateur Night at the Apollo never, ever, ever, disappoint. It was the most amazing experience ever. Great entertainment! Great atmosphere! Great host! Great Ushers! Great laughs and entertainment! Simply amazing and worth every dollar spent.
Wanted to do this for years now and finally did so. Feels like a privilege to enjoy a show here. The team and MC were excellent getting everyone in the mood, and the standard of the acts was crazy. Great fun. Hope to be back soon
After 90 years amateur night is a really strong format. The scene, the audience and the preparation/energizers before the show set everybody in the right enthusiastic mood. Itâs up to the performers then to be good or be goneâŚ
The show was okay. I enjoyed myself more the last time I went.
I have never visited the Apollo before - but the Amateaur night at the Apollo is world wide famous. It was even better than i expected! Excitering performances as well as some laughable ones. Over all good with great MC:s. A blast!
This is my second time coming to the show and once again had a good time. I gave 4 out of 5 stars because the drinks were very expensive. We had a blast though.
Amateur Night April 3rd 2024: was no security outside because it was raining? Impatient patrons kept cutting the 2 lines to get in... finally someone realized the show was starting so they just let everyone in without security checks but the damage was done when we got in and the show had already started despite arriving early. Great show and great venue but Amateur Security / organization for Amateur Night
My son (17) and I (50) were visiting colleges on the east coast and I was trying to pick things we had not done before in NYC at a reasonable cost (broadway shows was not in our budget for this trip). We thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere, dancing and singing in our seats. It was great and refreshing to see true amateurs trying their best. The host was pretty entertaining too. If you are in NYC, I would definitely recommend attending amateur night at the APOLLO.
