How It Works
Your Talent. Your Moment. Your Stage.
WeHo's Got Talent is searching for performers who know how to own a stage. Singers. Dancers. Comedians. Musicians. Bands. Drag performers. Magicians. Variety acts. And those acts we never saw coming.

Once applications close, the WeHo's Got Talent production team will review all audition submissions. We'll be looking for performers with talent, originality, stage potential and the ability to entertain a live audience. Selected performers will be invited to callbacks. Submitting an audition does not guarantee selection.

The Competition Begins
This Is Where It Gets Real.
February 3, 2027
Fifteen contestants take the stage live at Sweetwater in West Hollywood. Lights. Audience. Judges. One stage. And only four minutes to make an impression. Each week, the field gets smaller. Each performance matters. And the stakes keep getting higher.

How the Judging Works
Impress the Judges.
During the first four competition nights, contestants will perform for a panel of 3–4 judges. Each judge scores every performance independently using a 20-point scale.
Talent
Technical skill, ability and mastery of your craft
Stage Presence
Command of the stage, confidence and connection with the audience
Originality
Uniqueness, creativity and what makes your act distinctly yours
Entertainment Value
Overall impact, energy and the audience experience you create
The judges take the competition from:
15 → 12 → 10 → 8 → Final 6
But when only six contestants remain... everything changes.
The Judges Step Aside.
The Live Audience Takes Over.
Beginning with the Final 6 on March 3, the judges no longer determine who advances.
The Audience Does.
The final two weeks of WeHo's Got Talent are determined 100% by the live audience. Voting is exclusively available to audience members who are physically present at Sweetwater during the competition. There is no remote voting. There is no voting from home. There is no outside online voting.
You Must Be There for Your Vote to Count.
March 3, 2027
Six Perform.
You Decide Who Advances.
The six remaining contestants perform live at Sweetwater. After the performances, eligible audience members who are physically present cast their votes. The live audience determines which four contestants advance to the Grand Finale.
