About the event
Once upon a time it was just karaoke. Now? It’s karaoke with personality, a little sparkle, and a grand finale. This is the Ideal Idol - and it's RETURNING for Season Five, ready to kick off the new year with music, laughs, and a whole lot of talent!
Every Thursday in January & February, singers battle it out for a $1,000 cash jackpot in an 8-week showdown. Hosted by the fabulous Vidal, open karaoke runs 7–11PM, with contestant signup by 8:30PM and competition from 9–10PM. Compete for $5 or just come sing, drink, and vibe all night.
