About this Event

OPUN MIC NIGHT is a gathering of curious minds to wordplay, improv, write, share creative work, and meet new people in a casual, 'low-stakes' environment.

This free community event is about having fun, not (necessarily) being funny!

Our THEME for October is Halloween--or more specifically, Hello-weird ...


How does Austin keep it weird with costumes and performances that go beyond the typical spooky tropes?

Maybe you make like the ghost of Matthew McConaughey in "Dazed and Confused" and wear "all white, all white, all white."

Perhaps you donn a hot pink apron and blonde wig as a brisket-braising Barbie-Q.

Or how 'bout you dress as a saintly nun with roller skates as a Holy Roller Derby girl?

Puns, outfits, and work shared on theme are always encouraged and not required.

There are 3 Phases to the evening -- show up for one or all!

Thanks to ColdTowne Theater for hosting us and our beverage sponsor, Rambler, for keeping us hydrated as we ramble on :)
