Where are the open mikes?

by Brian McKim & Traci Skene on April 27th, 2009

A reader, comedian Jon Wilson of Minnesota, asks if we know of any website that has a link to current open mikes around the country. Well, we know that Erin Bennet, aka Gigglechick, maintains her “[semi] world famous open mic list” here. There’s even a form that one can fill out to add more data about an open mike not included on the list (or to augment/correct information that is already included).

So far, it includes information from about 12 regions of the country. If you have information about an open mike in your area, and you don’t see it on Erin’s list, fill out the form! (We couldn’t help but notice that the splendid Hidden House open mike is not listed among the many on her site! Perhaps we’ll drop them a line.)

We hope this helps Jon Wilson from Minnesota!
