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.

It's is about having fun, not (necessarily) being funny!

We kick off with some warm up imrov games designed to help you remember names and be wittier with your words, have a writing prompt in the middle, and end with an optional open mic night to share your writing, stand up set, or anything you're working on.

Our THEME for December is the Holidays ... wear your Ugliest Holiday Sweater or accessory.

Ugliest / Punniest Holiday Sweater gets a prize!

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