Why I Started KaraokeCrowd

I started KaraokeCrowd because finding out where karaoke is actually happening can take hours of digging.

When I travel, I want to find a local karaoke night and end up where regulars already know the room. My first Reddit post asked whether a community-maintained network could keep local karaoke info current.

The idea quickly became social: local regulars, hosts, and regional guides can watch over the places they know and confirm when a night is still active, changed, cancelled, or over.

After that first discussion, I built a prototype and asked r/karaoke for recurring karaoke lists, regional Facebook groups, ideas, and corrections. That is still the heart of the project.

A single confirmation can turn a stale listing into something people can trust tonight.

About Us

Hi, I'm Sabine (/u/grumpi2 on Reddit). I launched this directory on December 28, 2025.

While traveling, I got frustrated trying to find karaoke venues. Google Maps doesn't show schedules, and I just wanted to know which days have karaoke at a glance so I could make a quick call or shoot a WhatsApp.

We're building this as a work of love to help people connect over karaoke. We want to help you avoid showing up to closed doors - and eventually point you to local karaoke groups to join.
