Hosted by renegade writer and poet Sossity Chiricuzio, this open mic has been a place to strut your creative stuff for 3 years now! We're always looking for queer entertainers of all sorts: dancers, jugglers, singers, musicians, comics, poets, storytellers, gender performers ... if you can do it in 5 mins. or less (w/ minimal props/equip), this open mic's for you. The sign up starts at 6pm and is first come, first serve. We average 120+ people in attendance, so be sure to come early for a good seat!
Check out our podcasts, videos, and some other tasty samples of what you can find on our stage!
Extras: Participants can have a bio with contact info & a sample on this site.
Caveats: 18+, hate free environment, consent is key - full boundaries listed here.
Queers helping each other survive: so many of us are without healthcare and/or vital resources, and the support of our tribe can be the thing that keeps us healthy, or even alive. If you are organizing a fundraiser or fund drive for a community member, you are welcome to announce this - simply check in with the MC ahead of time. In this spirit, we're calling on you all to help support a fierce femme artist and activist, Fran Varian. She was recently diagnosed with chronic late stage Lyme disease and is battling this debilitating disease without insurance or a job. Please consider donating today so she can receive the treatment that she desperately needs to beat this tick born nightmare.
