Amateur Night at the Apollo

Which is New York’s Best Borough?

Longtime Host Capone to be Joined by Ralph Cooper Jr.,
Son of Amateur Night Creator and Co-Host and Producer of Showtime at the Apollo.

Back by popular demand, join The Apollo for a night of playful rivalry as artists from each borough (and maybe a few from Jersey…) bring their A-game to compete at Amateur Night at The Apollo. Will the birthplace of hip-hop aka the Boogie Down Bronx, come out on top? Or will it be Brooklyn, the Borough that gave birth to legendary artists such as Jay-Z and Maxwell? Manhattan, home to Broadway and countless iconic theaters? Queens where Run DMC and Nas got their start? Or the never-to-be-forgotten Borough, Staten Island? And, perhaps, a couple of hopefuls from New Jersey, to keep things interesting. 

This is a battle you won’t want to miss! Grab your crew and come cheer on artists from your neighborhood in a competition like no other. Tickets will sell fast, so don’t wait! Get yours today and come rep your borough at Amateur Night at The Apollo.

Amateur Night at the Apollo sponsored by Coca-Cola,  is hosted by the comedian Capone. Each show begins with a festive pre-party featuring video and music by DJ Jess and Set It Off Man Greginald Spencer. Keep a lookout for C.P. Lacey, the resident Executioner who sweeps bad talent off the stage!
