America's Got Talent on NBC: Meet Lace Larrabee stand-up who tours clubs coast to coast

Season 17 of 'America's Got Talent has begun, which means auditions have begun. This year, viewers will be introduced to a brand-new cast of entertainers, all vying for a $1 million grand prize and their own Las Vegas show. Throughout the audition phases, the contenders will demonstrate their exceptional abilities in order to impress the judges. Illusions, magic, comedy, acrobatics, dance, singing, and a variety of other performances from other disciplines may be performed by them. The judges have the option of advancing them to the live performances, removing them, or awarding them a "Golden Buzzer," which will advance them to the live performances immediately. Each week, we'll watch as Sofia Vergara, Simon Cowell, Heidi Klum, and Howie Mandel choose which performers will advance to the next round. This season has already seen some spectacular performances; now, let's take a look at one of this week's promising competitors.
