Open mic is a one-of-a-kind experience. It’s the only place where you can see veteran comedians take the stage alongside those brave souls attempting comedy for the first time. As a result, you will enjoy a wild spectrum of everything between hilarity and cringe. Join us for a riotous night of chaos!
Email openmic@boxcarcomedy.com one week in advance of the show on which you’d like to perform. While you may submit a video of your work, it will not necessarily improve your chances of getting a spot. If you are selected for a spot, you will receive an email with “confirmed” in the body. Unless otherwise stated, you will have 3 minutes to perform. If you are selected to perform, the $5 cover charge for the show will be waived.
If you are not selected for a spot, we encourage you to attend anyways as a) you may sign up for the stand-by list from which we will select comedians to fill in no-show spots b) it will give you the chance to see others perform and build a rapport with the local community and c) we will give out at least 5 spots to the following week’s show exclusively to comedians who attend open mic.
If you are selected, you must check in no later than 6:30pm the day of the performance.
You will be placed in one of four categories:

Have fun! We’re glad to have you.
