A comedy listing site's calendar, checked Aug 31, 2026 (a Monday), shows two separate dated open-mic entries at this venue for that day: one 8:00-9:30 PM, and a distinct 'Laugh Riot Grrrrl' mic, 8:00-10:00 PM, on the venue's patio [s1]. This confirms the venue runs at least two distinct named mics on Mondays.
A comedy open-mic listing site's calendar shows a dated recurring entry at this venue for Monday, Aug 31, 2026, 5-10 PM [s1]. The event's own detail page could not be loaded, so its exact name and type -- music, as originally recorded, or something else -- remain unconfirmed.
Weekly on Fridays, 11:00 PM. Only one source reports it.
The event organizer's own ticketing page, checked Aug 31, 2026, states the 'Liberty Laughter Stand-Up Comedy Showcase' runs every Friday at 11:00 PM and is free to sign up despite the 'Showcase' name [s1]. A ticket listing for Friday, Sept 4, 2026 confirms the next instance is genuinely a Friday.
A listing on thecomedybureau.com lists this night, but may not be current.
Weekly on Mondays, 3:00 PM. Only one source reports it.
Other listings describe the venue as Clubhouse Improv, a donation-based improv theater with shows seven days a week and no house teams. A comedy listing site's dedicated page for this venue shows only generic site navigation, not show-specific content (checked Aug 31, 2026) [s1]. No source ties a specific open mic to the claimed Monday 3:00 PM slot.
Weekly on Tuesdays, 9:00 PM. The Venue's Website does not mention it.
The venue's own calendar page (checked Sep 1, 2026) is readable and does not mention 'open mic' or 'Tuesday' [s1]. A later check (Sep 5, 2026) found that an invented, nonexistent page on the same site returns nearly the same content and status as the calendar page [s2]. This means the booking system can't reliably show real listings, so the earlier absence can't be trusted as a genuine negative.
The venue's own open-mic page, checked Aug 31, 2026, lists multiple individually dated instances of the Monday 7:30 PM open mic running through September 2026, confirmed to be real varying dates rather than a repeated placeholder [s1].
Weekly on Mondays, 8:00 PM. Only one source reports it.
Secondary sources claim The Escondite permanently closed on Aug 30, 2026, but no primary source confirms this. A civic business-alliance page for the venue showed only generic navigation, no venue content (checked Aug 31, 2026) [s1]. A venue review article makes no mention of 'open mic' [s2]. Whether the Monday open mic itself ever ran as described was never confirmed either, leaving two separate open questions.
A listing on thecomedybureau.com lists this event, but may not be current.
A comedy listing site's calendar, checked Aug 31, 2026, shows a dated open-mic entry running '2pm-1am, hourly' at this venue on both that day and the following day, Sept 1, 2026, confirming these are real, separately dated listings rather than a repeated placeholder [s1].
Weekly on Fridays, 4:00 PM. The Venue's Website does not mention it.
The venue's own homepage, fully read, is silent on 'open mic' and 'Friday' (checked Aug 31, 2026) [s1]. A search surfaced only generic rental-venue listings with no open-mic-specific programming found anywhere; the venue is clearly operating as a rental theater complex.
A page on urbanbarguide.com lists this night, but may not be current.
Weekly on Wednesdays, 7:00 PM. Only one source reports it.
The venue's real website failed to load on every attempt (checked Aug 31, 2026). A search turned up unusually detailed, consistent descriptions of an open mic for musicians on both Monday and Wednesday, 6:30 PM signup, 7-9 PM show, hosted by Dominic Rios -- well corroborated in tone, but nothing carries an explicit date.
Weekly on Tuesdays, 7:15 PM. The Venue's Website does not mention it.
The restaurant's own homepage, fully read, doesn't mention an open mic (checked Aug 31, 2026) [s1]. It doesn't appear on a comedy organization's structured venue map either; the only support remains an undated curated listing naming a lottery-format mic and two hosts, specific but without a date.
Weekly on Sundays, 7:00 PM. The Venue's Website does not mention it.
The venue's own homepage, fully read, is silent on 'open mic' (checked Aug 31, 2026) [s1]. Its events page, also fully read, says the same [s2]. A large touring-act venue's public listings may simply prioritize ticketed shows over a recurring open mic. The only support is a description of a free Sunday open mic claimed to start 6:30 PM, which conflicts with the venue's own stated Sunday hours of 7:00 PM-1:00 AM.
Weekly on Sundays, 10:30 PM. Only one source reports it.
The venue's own history page (checked Aug 31, 2026) shows this theater moved from a Hollywood address to its current Los Feliz address in July 2024 [s1]. A comedy directory's claim that this event runs at the old address predates that move by about two years. The venue's own current homepage has no mention of 'open mic' [s2]. The old venue's own listing doesn't mention this event by name either [s3].
The Venue's Website lists this night, but may not be current.
Weekly on Tuesdays, 7:00 PM. Only one source reports it.
The Venue's Website is content-light with no event-specific text (checked Aug 31, 2026) [s1]. A guessed events path gave a not-found error, which is not evidence either way. It doesn't appear on a comedy organization's structured venue map. The only support remains secondary listings describing a Tuesday stand-up showcase followed by an open mic, hosted by Geoffrey Feldman, but undated.
Night and frequency are unclear — no source gives either. Only one source reports it.

Call to confirm the night
The sources disagree about whether it still runs.
The strongest dated citation found for this venue is a comedy show page dated Oct 27, 2025, about ten months stale for what would need to be a frequent recurring event [s1]. A comprehensive current Los Angeles comedy open-mic map does not list this venue at all, weighing against the claim [s2]. The venue's own brand still promotes open-mic-branded events generally, though that alone doesn't confirm this specific event.
Weekly on Wednesdays, 8:00 PM. The Venue's Website does not mention it.
The venue's own homepage, re-checked Sep 1, 2026, did not show enough readable text to confirm or rule out an open mic [s1]. Its events archive page does load, but every dated entry on it is from 2020, so it is a dead archive rather than current evidence either way [s2]. Listing sites disagree on whether this event is music or comedy; nothing confirms this open mic currently runs, though nothing confirms a closure either.
The venue's own homepage, checked Aug 31, 2026, confirms in the present tense a Tuesday 'Open Mic' with a second-Tuesday 'Campfire Comedy' exception [s1]. This matches the schedule already known for this mic. A separate booking widget on the site showed no upcoming instances, but its page title suggests it may be an unrelated one-off form rather than this mic's own calendar, so it is not treated as evidence the mic has stopped.
Weekly on Tuesdays, 8:00 PM. The Venue's Website does not mention it.
The venue's own homepage doesn't mention an open mic, though the page showed too little text for that reading to be fully reliable (checked Aug 31, 2026) [s1]. A search turned up only a differently named social-media event and generic restaurant listings; no source beyond the original open-mic listing site describes this Tuesday open mic in any form.
Weekly on Wednesdays, 9:05 PM. Something about this has changed recently — confirm before going.
The venue's own programs page, checked Aug 31, 2026, names this event the 'Anansi Writers Workshop,' confirms it runs Wednesdays, and gives a three-part structure ending in an open mic from 9:05-10:00 PM [s1]. This corrects a previously listed 7:30 PM start. This page is not itself dated with a forward instance, so while it firmly settles the day and time, confidence in current operation is held at medium rather than high.
The venue's own homepage (checked Sep 1, 2026) currently carries an 'Open Mics' section, confirming the program still exists [s1]. Its own events calendar lists one upcoming show, 'Things To Do Comedy,' on Saturday, Sep 4, 2026 (7 PM doors, 7:30 PM show), confirming current live comedy programming [s2]. This is a third, unreconciled time slot, so the venue is confirmed active but no single schedule can be stated with confidence.
