Open Mic Nights for Comics-in-Training:
...or audiences who want to see some raw, risky, cheap and/or free comedy!
If you've ever thought of trying your hand at stand-up, open mics are the best (and usually ONLY) venues to do so. Not all open mics are exclusively for stand-up... check the details for each event... but the ones listed here are 50% to 100% stand-up. For stand-up newbs, open mics are a great way to practice performing in front of a live audience (with low expectations and patience), as well as networking with other comics-in-training.
For audiences, open mics are a rare look behind the scenes of comedy, seeing artists form in front of your very eyes.
