Open Mic

Thinking about trying stand up comedy? Ready to take the leap? We’re proud to have a supportive staff and an awesome group of comics performing on our open mic, so relax, grab some friends and come have a great time. Read below for sign up instructions.

If you’re not ready yet, the show’s free so come by, hang out, grab a drink, talk to some of the comics, and check out the show.

________________

Here’s how the open mic works. We have open mics 7 nights a week, 365 nights a year.

All the info and signs ups take place on the Instagram page for the Mad House Open Mic. The open mic has its own Instagram page separate from the main club page. The Instagram handle to search is @openmicmadhouse

Check the Website for the exact start times. They are different depending on what’s going on at the club. To be on the mics shows you need to sign up ahead of time. Do not call the box office with questions about the open mic list.

If you just want to watch the open mic just show you. No tickets needed, just show up with valid, state issued photo ID. We’re 21+ for the open mic.

The Mad House Open Mic Performance Week runs Mon thru Sunday. The SIGN UP DAY is on the Sunday PRIOR to the week starting.

Please pay careful attention when requesting to perform on Sunday. Example. If sign up to perform on all 7 nights of the week on Sunday The Sign Up Day…you’d be signing up for Mon, Tues, Wed, Thurs, Fri, Sat and the FOLLOWING Sunday. You can’t sign up on Sunday the Sign Up Day and then show up to the club that same night to perform.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

Everyone gets up. If you sign up you’ll go onstage.

You can sign up for one night, some nights, or all 7 nights.

The line ups are done right before the show. We don’t accept requests to go up early or late.

Just check the box for the  nights you want to perform.  Nothing extra. No need for a “please”, or “anything available” or “Tuesday or Wednesday whatever works”.

We need your first and last name, so we know who’s onstage.

Last important note. Don’t call the comedy club for any open mic questions. Ever.

LESS IMPORTANT, BUT USEFUL, NOTES:

Don’t call the box office with open mic questions. Scientific studies have shown conclusively there is a connection between calling the box office with open mic questions and a sudden onset of a rare form of airborne gonorrhea.

  • Sets are usually 3min but could be a little longer depending on how many comedians we have on the shows.
  • Sets are uncensored
  • If you go over the time you will be played off stage.
  • Check in with the host when you arrive at the club.

There is no two drink min for the open mic shows, and there is never a two drink min for any performing comedian at the Mad House Comedy Club regardless of the night or show.

Last and most important.

PLEASE DO NOT CALL THE COMEDY CLUB PHONE NUMBER WITH OPEN MIC QUESTIONS.
