The New York Comic Con Talent Show!
Get Ready for a Talent Showdown in the City that Never Sleeps!
We proudly present The New York Comic Con Talent Show, a dazzling display of creativity, skill, and entertainment, taking place on Saturday, October 19, starring YOU onstage in room 405! This is your golden opportunity to step into the spotlight and showcase your unique talents, whether it's singing, dancing, juggling, playing an instrument, magic, comedy, or any other extraordinary ability you possess.
The New York Comic Con Talent Show promises excitement, intrigue, and interesting performances. Participants from all walks of life are welcome to compete for a chance to win fantastic prizes.
Whether you're a seasoned performer or stepping onto the stage for the first time, The New York Comic Con Talent Show is the perfect platform to share your passion and talent with your fellow Con-goers. As this show is part of NYCC After Dark, participants can have acts that are more risqué in nature (language and suggestive themes), we recommend fans keep this in mind if they are bringing kiddos with them to watch the show.
Don't miss out on this unforgettable event that celebrates the diverse and vibrant spirit of New York at New York Comic Con. Let the show begin!
Take a look at the rules to ensure your act is eligible to compete and see the prizes you can win!
