Open Mic Night!
Open Mic Night!
Our open mic shows are a BLAST, usually featuring 15 to 20 comics from all over Illinois and beyond! The show is 8 p.m. The lounge opens at 7:15. If you're not performing, tickets are JUST $5.
Open mic comedy shows are an opportunity for aspiring comics to get stage time and a super-fun chance for anyone who's EVER wanted to tell jokes and funny stories before a group of strangers. It's easy. Prepare 5 minutes (or less) and then simply show up, sign up and go up! We've been doing the open mic shows since November of 2000. Emmy and Golden Globe-nominated Janelle James started here in 2012. She now has Netflix specials and is the hilarious principal "Ava" on ABC's "Abbott Elementary!"
Doors open at 7:15. For those wanting to perform, you simply show up, sign up and go up!
Sets are 5 minutes or less. We typically have 15 or more performers for our open mics.
Tickets are only FIVE BUCKS for those coming to enjoy the laughs. Bring your friends. It's a great time!
