Weekly on Mondays, 7:00 PM. The Venue's Website does not mention it.
An Eventbrite series called 'Open Mic Industry Night @ Bar Moxy' ran Mar 3 to Sep 22, 2025 with no renewal listed since [s3]. An open-mic listing site still lists it as a current weekly Monday 7-8 PM event [s4]. The hotel's official event page could not be reached directly (checked Sep 7, 2026) [s5]. That page opened in a browser and shows the same Monday comedy event at Area 24, but dated Feb 2025, about 19 months old.
A page on boston.gov lists this night, but may not be current.
The first Monday of each month, 6:00 PM. Only one source reports it.
The city's own arts-and-culture page, last updated May 14, 2026 and checked Aug 13, 2026, lists this poetry slam [s1]. The organizer's own ticketing page shows the series as ongoing, with its next session scheduled for Sep 7, 2026, confirmed to be the first Monday of that month [s2]. That matches the claimed cadence. A separate events calendar also lists a history of dated instances for this slam.
A page on boston.gov lists this night, but may not be current.
The second Thursday of each month. Only one source reports it.
A city government arts-and-culture page still lists this event, second Thursday monthly, linking to a sign-up sheet rather than a venue page — consistent with a virtual or roving format with no fixed address (checked Aug 13, 2026) [s1]. Because there is no venue to check a site for, this stays unconfirmed as a gap in what can be verified, not as weak evidence the event itself is inactive.
The Venue's Website lists this night, but may not be current.
Weekly on Mondays. Only one source reports it.
The venue's own page, checked Aug 13, 2026, yielded only generic site navigation, no substantive description of the format [s1]. A review site categorizes this room as a 'Comedy Club,' which suggests a booked, curated show rather than an open-signup mic. Whether 'Monday Night Comedy' is genuinely open-signup is unconfirmed.
Every other Monday; which weeks is unclear. Only one source reports it.

The organizer's own ticketing page describes a 'Free Open Mic Comedy Show Hosted Every Other Monday,' with the next session listed for Aug 24, 2026 (checked Aug 13, 2026) [s1]. Aug 24, 2026 falls on a Monday, matching the recorded biweekly pattern. The venue's own event page could not be read in usable form. This is a 21-plus venue.
The Venue's Website lists this night, but may not be current.
The Venue's Website was checked directly (checked Aug 13, 2026); the only relevant text found was kitchen hours, Monday-Wednesday 3-9 PM, with no open-mic-specific content reachable [s1]. No other source beyond the original listing corroborates this Wednesday event. This stays unconfirmed.
A comedy open-mic listing site confirms Democracy Brewing, 35 Temple Pl, with a 7:30pm show and 7pm sign-up [s1]. That matches what is listed here. The Venue's Website and events page make no mention of Thursday, comedy, or an open mic — though several similar small venues in the area also skip recurring programming on their main sites. This dated listing is not corroborated elsewhere (checked Aug 13, 2026).
Monthly on a Thursday; no source says which week. Only one source reports it.

A City of Boston arts and culture page still lists FREEVERSE at the Civic Pavilion, on the third or last Thursday of the month -- the source itself gives that recurrence as inexact (checked Aug 13, 2026) [s1]. The Civic Pavilion has no separate website of its own; this City page is the closest available source for its own venue.
The venue's own events page still reads 'every Sunday night, from 7-9pm, sign-ups start at 6pm' when re-checked directly on Aug 13, 2026 [s1]. A local events calendar site showed dated instances of this comedy open mic through Dec 15, 2024, corroborating recurrence over more than a year [s2].

The venue's own event page was updated only three days earlier and still describes a 'Join us on Mar 5, 2026' first-Thursday instance, a Thursday (checked Aug 13, 2026) [s1]. A City of Boston arts and culture page, checked the same day, separately lists GrubStreet's Writers' Open Mic in the Seaport [s2].
A City of Boston arts and culture page still lists this event at the Civic Pavilion, Boston City Hall, second Sunday monthly (checked Aug 13, 2026) [s1]. The Civic Pavilion is a public plaza inside City Hall with no separate website of its own, so this City-run page -- from the venue's own operator -- is the closest available source, even though it is the only one.
A listing on openmicx.com lists this night, but may not be current.
Listing sites and an event post agree on a Monday 7pm comedy open mic at this pub, and confirm the venue, open since 1970, is still operating (checked Aug 13, 2026) [s1]. None of these is the Venue's Website, which could not be located, and none carries a specific 2025 or 2026 date for this slot, so it stays unconfirmed despite the agreement.
A page on openjamevents.com lists this night, but may not be current.
Weekly on Wednesdays, 8:00 PM. Only one source reports it.
A listing site for this pub, checked Aug 13, 2026, shows a Wednesday date and a generic year fragment but no specific date [s1]. Other listings describe this as a distinct music, poetry, and variety open mic hosted by Jimmy Kelly, roughly 8-11:30 PM. The venue is confirmed operating, but no source carries a specific date for this slot, so it stays unconfirmed.
Weekly on Sundays, 7:00 PM. Only one source reports it.
A comedy open-mic listing site confirms a 'Sunday Funday Mic' at Jacques' Cabaret, 79 Broadway St, with a 7pm show and 6:30pm sign-up (checked Aug 13, 2026) [s1]. That matches this listing exactly. The venue's own presence is a private Facebook group that could not be checked. An earlier corroboration from another listing site was not re-verified this time.
The venue's own current events page, re-checked directly on Aug 13, 2026, titles a recurring listing 'Thursday | Open Mic Night' in the present tense, confirming the mic has not quietly stopped [s1]. An open-mic listing site's directory entry corroborates this [s2]. The same live page shows only one other recurring named night, 'Wednesday | Trivia Night,' with nothing listed for Monday or under a comedy name.
A page on jeaniejohnstonpub.com suggests it may have ended.
The venue's own current events page, rechecked Aug 13, 2026, lists exactly two recurring events — a Thursday Open Mic Night and a Wednesday Trivia Night — with no Monday event and no comedy-branded night anywhere [s1]. This contradicts earlier claims of a Monday 8 PM comedy show or a Thursday 'Blacked Out Comedy' show; most likely this listing misattributes the venue's confirmed Thursday music open mic as a separate event.
A page on jjfoleyscafe.com lists this night, but may not be current.
An unconfirmed description of this Monday 8 PM event at JJ Foley's Cafe calls it a comedy open mic, not music as currently listed, with 'open mic for comedy every Monday at 8:00 PM' [s1]. The day and time match the venue's own listed schedule exactly, but the description does not come from a source with its own date, so the type correction is flagged rather than confirmed.

The Boston Bluegrass Union's own jam calendar lists an upcoming 'JP Bluegrass Jam' for Aug 16, 2026, the coming Sunday, describing the same Jamaica Pond (summer) / Hamilton Restaurant, Brookline (winter) seasonal switch (checked Aug 13, 2026) [s1]. That matches what is already listed here. This jam has no single fixed venue, so no separate Venue's Website applies; the union's own page is the closest available authority.
A City of Boston arts and culture page lists Just Be(Loved) Poetry Slam [s1]. The organizer's own events page lists an upcoming instance, 'JustBe(Loved) Poetry Slam & Open Mic — Team Homecoming,' Aug 21, 2026, 6:00-10:00pm, at 1463 Dorchester Ave [s2]. That date is confirmed to fall on the third Friday of the month, matching the recorded first-and-third-Friday pattern (checked Aug 13, 2026).
The second Friday of each month. Only one source reports it.
A City of Boston arts and culture page lists Liberation Open Mic [s1]. The organizer's own event page for a March 2026 session confirms a start date of March 13, 2026 at the Boston Liberation Center, 194 Blue Hill Ave -- confirmed to be the second Friday of that month (checked Aug 13, 2026) [s2]. That matches the recorded second-Friday pattern. A January 2026 session was also found in a search but not checked directly.

The venue's events page lists this event, but may not be current.
The venue's own event page confirms 'Open Mic Night by Write 2 Work' exists, with a 6:00 PM start time, but carries no current date, only a stray '2024' text string [s1]. That start time is an hour earlier than an original claim of 7:00 PM, and the day of week (originally claimed as Tuesday) is unconfirmed. There is no evidence of closure, only insufficient dating.
A City of Boston arts and culture page lists this event [s1]. The venue's own page shows a multi-year run of second-Thursday readings -- June 11, 2026, March 12, 2026, Nov. 13, 2025, and Nov. 14, 2024, each confirmed to fall on the second Thursday of its month -- and describes an 'Open Mic before the featured speakers,' with sign-up at 6:45pm, free (checked Aug 13, 2026) [s2].
A comedy open-mic listing site confirms Midway Cafe, 3496 Washington St, Jamaica Plain, listed for a Sunday 9pm slot (checked Aug 13, 2026) [s1]. The Venue's Website has no calendar or events section at all -- its navigation covers booking, drink specials, and other named nights, but nothing about this comedy night -- so it is silent rather than contradicting the listing.
A comedy open-mic listing site confirms Mooyah's, 140 Tremont St, with a 5:30pm show and 5pm sign-up (checked Aug 13, 2026) [s1]. That matches what is listed here. No further corroboration was found, and no Venue's Website of its own could be located.
The venue's own dedicated event page, last modified Oct 28, 2025, reads 'NEMPAC Open Mic Nights are BACK at Boston Public Market for fall 2026' (checked Aug 13, 2026) [s1]. The market's general events hub page does not mention NEMPAC or an open mic. That is a caution about visibility, not a sign the series has stopped, since the dedicated page is live. A ticketing site shows dated instances through Feb 2026 [s2].
The venue's events page lists this night, but may not be current.
Weekly on Mondays, 7:00 PM. Only one source reports it.
The venue's own dedicated events page was last modified Jul 23, 2026, about three weeks earlier, confirming this art gallery inside a cannabis dispensary is real and currently maintained (checked Aug 13, 2026) [s1]. A search corroborates that the gallery hosts open mic nights generally, but the specific Monday 7pm slot could not be found on the page directly, so that detail stays unconfirmed. The gallery is 21-plus.
A City of Boston arts and culture page, updated May 14, 2026, lists OutSpoken Saturdays [s1]. The co-producing public broadcaster's own site lists a upcoming September 2026 session, along with earlier March, April, and June 2026 sessions, confirming a monthly first-Saturday, 2:00-3:00pm program at the Boston Public Library's GBH Studio, curated with spoken word artist Amanda Shea (checked Aug 13, 2026) [s2].

An open-mic listing site confirms host Tim Ko's Monday 8pm open mic and carries its own recent update stamp [s1]. The venue's own live entertainment page states, 'Monday — Open Mic Night — showcasing local talent and fresh performances every week' [s2]. That matches the day and weekly cadence exactly (checked Aug 13, 2026).

A city government arts-and-culture page, dated May 14, 2026, lists Pull Up Poetry as a monthly event held at various locations (checked Aug 13, 2026) [s1]. No dedicated organizer site, social media page, or ticketing page could be found to corroborate it further. Because it has no fixed venue, this stays short of a confirmed verdict despite the dated municipal listing.
Both sources give the same night and time, but neither confirms recent activity.
The venue's own page, checked Aug 2026, confirms this mic is 'held on the last Monday of each month,' restricted to current Berklee students [s1]. Its example dates are stale (2023-2024), a frozen-template warning sign. A separate Berklee calendar is actively maintained into Sep 2026 and lists the series with an image uploaded in March 2026, though the next date is unpinned [s2]. Existence and the restriction are well supported.
