Where the magic (and the silence) happens.
Many of the world's top comedians began honing their stand-up skills on the EastVille stage! Our open mics feature the city's top up-and-coming comedians regularly crafting and fine-tuning their material.
EastVille often has the audience sitting in on the open mics watching the raw creative process at work. It's a unique opportunity to see jokes in their infancy, before they end up on Netflix specials.
Each mic has the same sign up process. Visit our calendar page and click on whichever date you prefer.
