About this event

Come, take the mic and talk/sing/dance/perform in whichever way you see fit. All performances are welcome.

We want to cultivate a welcoming energy where we all feel comfortable to stand in front of people and just go for it!

If you want to just sit and relax or don't know for sure whether you are up for performing with an audience, you're also welcome to come and take a look at what’s on. Maybe you find the inspiration to take the mic next time.

Instruments aren't available, but you're welcome to bring your own.

Time will be limited to five minutes per appearance. You can sign up more than once if there is enough space.

Watch back previous performances on Queer Open Mic's Instagram.
