No offensive or derogatory clothing. We're all about free speech and expression, but we want to keep things respectful and appropriate. Leave the offensive t-shirts and hats at home. Wear comfortable shoes. We want you to laugh until your sides hurt, not because your feet hurt. So wear something that will keep you comfy awaiting entry and during the show. No hats. Hat blocking is real. Keep them off your head during the show, please.

Our Open Mic event provides aspiring comedians the opportunity to take the stage and showcase their talents. It’s an open invitation for anyone to perform, regardless of experience level. Currently, three of our locations—Hollywood, San Diego, and Chicago—host Open Mic nights.

How does Open Mic work?
In Hollywood, a professional comedian or emcee introduces each aspiring comic. The first 10 people in line receive a guaranteed 2-minute "clean" set (limiting profanity and dirty talk). All others will participate in a random draw for the remaining 10 performance slots. Admission is free for all attendees.

Who can sign up?
Anyone! Just arrive early, sign up with the host or emcee, and be prepared to have fun. Some comedians come with a polished routine, while others may try out new material. It’s a chance to be creative and enjoy the thrill of performing.

When and where?

Hollywood: Tuesdays at 5:00 PM (doors open at 4:30 PM).

San Diego: Wednesdays at 8:30 PM.
