LACAE Talent Show: A Friendly Competition With Special Guest Wendy Braun

Music - Comedy - Dance - Poetry - And… Glory?

Get ready for the most entertaining night in North Hollywood! On Friday, June 5, the LACAE stage comes alive for a massive, one-night-only celebration of the incredible talent right here in our community.

We’ve curated an electric lineup of soulful music, moving poetry, and side-splitting comedy. From raw, acoustic magic to laugh-out-loud sets, you’ll experience the absolute best our creative hub has to offer.

Why You Can't Miss It

Hilarious Live Commentary & Industry Insights: Our brilliant MC Mike Perkins leads a lively, unfiltered panel featuring Madilyn Sweeten, Perry Hart, Meredith Thomas, and the powerhouse industry veteran Wendy Braun (fresh off her star turn on Jury Duty Presents: Company Retreat). Wendy and the panel will deliver live feedback, sharp comedy, and expert insight throughout the night. Think of it as your favorite TV talent competition, but warmer, funnier, and completely live.

Pure Energy & Connection: This is all about bringing the neighborhood together to cheer, laugh, and celebrate the performing arts.

Party for a Cause: Every single ticket powers Future Artists of Los Angeles (FALA), our 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to keeping arts education and resources accessible right here in North Hollywood.
