Karaoke Champions

Karaoke Champions is a high-energy karaoke night in the San Gabriel Valley that turns singing into a live performance experience. Hosted at Astronaut City, an Arcadia comedy club and karaoke bar, Karaoke Champions blends traditional karaoke with stage presence, costumes, dancing, and audience interaction, creating a show that’s just as fun to watch as it is to perform.

Unlike standard karaoke bars where singers rotate casually, Karaoke Champions is structured as a karaoke competition where performers sign up to sing for a live audience. Singers are encouraged to bring their personalities to the stage through creative song choices, theatrical performances, and bold presentations. Audience members play an active role by cheering, reacting, and voting for their favorite performances, making every night unpredictable and exciting.

Karaoke Champions attracts a mix of local karaoke regulars and professional performers, including singers with backgrounds in music, theater, comedy, dance, and drag. Big voices, memorable costumes, and high-energy performances are common, and no two nights are ever the same. While the competition is real, the stakes are intentionally low, keeping the atmosphere fun, welcoming, and playful rather than cutthroat.

Located in Arcadia, California, Astronaut City offers Karaoke Champions as a weekly event for people looking for karaoke near Pasadena, Monrovia, Temple City, Alhambra, El Monte, and surrounding SGV communities.
