Think you've got what it takes to perform in front of thousands of people the in the Evansville area? Here's your chance!

Amateur Hour is a nightly feature of the Annual West Side Nut Club Fall Festival, giving local folks the opportunity to show off their talents. From singing and dancing to comedy or magic, you could take center stage the first full week of October. That is, of course, if you make it past the judges during the audition rounds.

2024 Amateur Hour auditions will take place on Wednesday, August 21st and Thursday, August 22nd inside the Mater Dei High School Auditorium beginning at 5:30 pm each evening. Mater Dei High School is located at 1300 Harmony Way on Evansville's west side.

See How the West Side Nut Club Cleans Up After the Fall Festival

Nearly every one of the 300 active Club members jumps into action early Sunday morning to start tearing down and clean up the mess left behind by the thousands of attendees over the course of the six-day event. But, it's far more than just picking up trash.
