Weekly on Tuesdays, 4:30 PM. Only one source reports it.
The chain's own homepage carries an 'Open Mic' navigation item, confirming it actively promotes an open-mic program sitewide (checked Aug 31, 2026) [s1]. A guessed dedicated page for the program gave a soft error with no real content, despite loading. No dated confirmation of the specific Tuesday 4:30 PM slot at this location was found. The only support remains an undated curated listing naming a specific host.
A comedy listing site's calendar, checked Aug 31, 2026 (a Monday), shows a dated open-mic entry here for that same day, 9:00-11:00 PM [s1]. This confirms Monday for the venue's 9 PM-named mic, but the venue is known to run a second, separate noon mic whose day is still not confirmed.
The library's own branch page, checked Sept 1, 2026, confirms a weekly Wednesday Stand Up Comedy Open Mic in the present tense [s1]. A curated comedy open-mic list, updated Aug 26, 2026, confirms the venue and a 5:45 PM start time [s2].
Every other Tuesday, 8:00 PM; which weeks is unclear. The Venue's Website does not mention it.

The Venue's Website suggests it may have ended.
The pub's own homepage, fully read and checked for both 'comedy' and 'open mic,' contains neither term (checked Aug 31, 2026) [s1]. It doesn't appear on a comedy organization's structured venue map; the only support remains an undated curated listing naming a specific mic and host, so a live-music venue's homepage simply not listing every program remains possible.
Weekly on Mondays, 6:00 PM. Only one source reports it.
A comedy listing site's calendar, checked Aug 31, 2026 (a Monday), again shows the 'Skin Tag Open Mic' entry at this venue for that same day, 6:00-7:30 PM [s1]. This matches an earlier finding exactly, confirming the listing is current rather than stale.
A previously cited social media post could not be reproduced (checked Sep 1, 2026) and is not counted as a source. In its place, a curated Los Angeles comedy open-mic list, last updated Aug 26, 2026, lists 'Sabine's Mic' at this venue for 6:30 PM [s1]. A news article from Apr 14, 2025 names the host, Sabine Pfund, and quotes a flyer for the same Sunday 6:30 PM open mic, though that article is now about 17 months old [s2].
The venue's own dedicated Open Mic Music page states, in present tense, 'Mondays @ 7PM,' with $5 entry plus $5 per song, all genres [s2]. The venue's own general events page was directly confirmed to still list recurring weekly programming [s1]. A separate comedy guide listing names a same-time, differently formatted event here, and both descriptions are reported without being resolved to one.
A source calls it "bimonthly" — which may mean twice a month or every other month — on a Friday. The Venue's Website does not mention it.

The venue's events page suggests it may have ended.
The Venue's Website (checked Aug 31, 2026) turned out to be an unreadable JavaScript application -- its raw content literally reads 'You need to enable JavaScript to run this website' -- so nothing was actually served [s1]. An earlier claim that this page was read and found no mention of poetry or an open mic is therefore invalid. Attempts to corroborate a reported bi-monthly Friday poetry series were blocked.

Both sources list this event, but neither confirms recent activity.
Two dated installments of this roving poetry series were found. One is described on a webpage, dated Feb 21, 2025 [s1]. The other is on a ticketing listing, dated Fri, Feb 6, 2026, 6:30-8:30 PM, explicitly billed as the series' first 2026 installment [s2]. That confirms it was still running about seven months before Sep 1, 2026. No single venue, day, or time can be given because the series has none.

Sundays, 5:00 PM. Runs seasonally.
The venue's own 2026 calendar, checked Sept 1, 2026, lists seven monthly Open Mic dates from May through November, all confirmed to be genuine Sundays, with the next one on Sept 6, 2026 [s1]. The co-host organization's own site lists the same pairing [s2].
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 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.

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.
