Radio Talent Show
Details
Ready to put your skills to the test and maybe walk away a little richer? The Radio Talent Show is turning Tuesday night into a full-on variety showdown!
Every third Tuesday of the month, Radio Coffee & Beer (South) transforms into a live talent battleground where anything goes—well, almost anything. Music, comedy, poetry, magic, storytelling, or something so weird it defies categories… if you can perform it on stage, this is your moment.
When: Tuesday, May 19, 2026 at 7:00 pm
What: Open-mic style talent show with a fun, supportive crowd
Prize: $50 cash for the winner—bragging rights included
Who: All ages welcome, from first-timers to seasoned pros
How to perform: Sign up in advance by emailing radiosgottalent@gmail.com
Expect an easygoing, very Austin mix of performers: a singer-songwriter warming up the room, a stand-up comic testing new jokes, a poet baring their soul, then maybe a surprise ukulele solo or a juggling act. The crowd’s here to cheer you on, not judge you harshly—well, except when it’s time to pick a winner.
Even if you’re not ready for the spotlight, it’s a perfect low-pressure night out. Come with friends, discover new local talent, and pretend you’re a talent scout for the evening. Who knows—you might get inspired (or peer-pressured) to sign up for the next one.
So whether you’re chasing that $50 cash prize or just chasing the thrill of being on stage, the Radio Talent Show is your chance to turn a regular Tuesday into a story you’ll be telling for weeks.
