The annual awards ceremony, which boasts no acceptance speeches, just performances, celebrates the best in New York cabaret, comedy and jazz. In addition to the winners — who will all perform — the 7 PM evening will also feature the previously announced Bill Charlap and Sandy Stewart, Lari White, Hilary Kole, Charles Busch, Lucie Arnaz, Julie Halston and Tony Award winners Bill Irwin and Joanna Gleason. Bruce Vilanch will host; Carl Andress directs.

Newcomers to the annual event include R&B singer Phoebe Snow, stage and screen star Sandy Duncan, award-winning comedian John Mulaney and jazz performer Anat Cohen.

In a statement Nightlife Awards creator-host Scott Siegel said, "The remarkable aspect about The Nightlife Awards is the incredible diversity of talent we get on the stage. Not only does the audience get the extraordinary experience of witnessing New York's best comedians, jazz artists and cabaret stars all on one stage, in one night, the stars themselves, back stage, regularly comment on the stunning variety of talent of which they are a part."
