About this Event

Velvet Rising is a monthly queer open mic at Lookout, produced and hosted by Matthew McCoy. Fresh comics, queer voices, and the particular joy of a small room that's fully on your side. Candlelight energy, a disco ball on the mic, and drinks that go down easy.

This is a space built for queer comics and queer audiences first. Come watch, come support, or come get up and try something new.

Watching:
Grab a free ticket, bring a friend, and pull up a chair. The room is intimate, about 25 seats, so reserve your spot and come early.

Performing:
Sign ups happen in person at 7:45 PM, day of. Free to perform. Four minute sets, six minutes with a drink purchase. All experience levels welcome. What we won't have is anything transphobic or homophobic. The host will cut it, no exceptions.

Every third Tuesday
Lookout, 3600 16th Street, San Francisco
