Both sources list this event, but neither confirms recent activity.
The venue's own homepage and events page show the same content, with no mention of an open mic either time, though this looks like a technical quirk rather than solid evidence either way. A rival comedy club's own venues page names 'The Stand NYC, 116 E 16th St' as one of its circuit venues [s1]. An open-mic listing site separately gives a detailed schedule: Monday 5:00 PM and Saturday 2:30 PM, $5 to perform [s2].
FRIGID New York, which operates this theater directly, sells tickets on its own platform for 'The Open Mic' on Tuesdays, with a free door option or a $7 reserved ticket, covering comedy, music, poetry, storytelling, and dance [s1]. An open-mic listing site instead gives a $3 figure, which appears to be a different door-price detail rather than a contradiction.
The organization's own website lists this as a separate, indoor jam on Tuesdays, 7:30-10:00 PM, at 603 Ft. Washington Ave at W. 187th St, distinct from its Wednesday outdoor jam [s1].
Outdoors and seasonal: 15 April to 28 October, weather permitting, 4:00-5:15 PM.

The organization's own website describes 'The WaHi Weekly Jazz Jam,' running since February 2015, seasonally from April 15 to October 28 each year, 4:00-5:15 PM, weather permitting [s1]. Any silence outside that season is expected, not a sign it has ended.
The organization's own events page lists dated Wednesday instances for Aug 12, 19, and 26, 2026, each captioned 'every Wednesday' [s1]. This corrects an earlier claim of Tuesday.
A page on theinfatuation.com suggests it may have ended.
No website was found for the venue. A review describes it purely as a cocktail speakeasy bar, with low lighting and curated drinks (checked Aug 13, 2026) [s1]. No source mentions any live-performance or open-mic programming.
