The precursor to Amateur Night at The Apollo took place in April of 1933. Actor and producer Ralph Cooper started the original Harlem Amateur Hour at Frank Schiffman’s Lafayette Theater. In 1934, it became Wednesday Amateur Night at Sidney Cohen and Morris Sussman’s 125th Street Apollo Theater. Since then, the interest in the event has not faded, and it celebrates its 85th anniversary in 2019. Part of the interest could come from the allowance for audience participation and the greats who have launched their career here, including

Stevie Wonder

, Michael Jackson, James Brown and

Lauryn Hill

. This event takes place every Wednesday, and auditions are held year-round.
