It’s that time of year again! The Ally Coalition has announced its 11th annual Talent Show, set for December 15th at NYU’s Skirball Center in New York City.
Run by Jack Antonoff and his sister Rachel, the Ally Coalition Talent Show takes place every December in New York City, bringing together artists and comedians to perform for an intimate crowd of about 800. The event raises money for their nonprofit, The Ally Coalition, which is “committed to bettering the lives of LGBTQ youth.” Past performers include Taylor Swift, Sabrina Carpenter, Lorde, Mike Birbiglia, Sarah Sherman, and more.
In a new statement, The Ally Coalition writes:
“Through past shows, we have been able to raise millions of dollars to support unhoused LGBTQ+ youth all over the country. Today, there are over 4.2 million unhoused youth in the USA – with nearly 40% identifying as LGBTQ+. These youths are far more likely to be victims of depression, violence, bullying and suicide. As of this month, The ACLU is tracking 616 anti-LGBTQ bills across the USA– making 2025 our most critical show yet.”
“The Talent Show exists in its own special world that we have built over the last eleven years: bringing together my favorite artists to play a small room in New York for our people,” Antonoff shares.
Presale tickets go live this Thursday, with the general sale opening Friday. The Ally Coalition Talent Show continues to blend music, comedy, and activism into one powerful night — and this year’s edition is shaping up to be its most meaningful yet.
