Open Mics in New York

A listing on badslava.com lists this night, but may not be current.

No website was found for the venue. An open-mic listing site, checked again today with a corrected link, still lists a Wednesday 8:00 PM slot here [s1]. An earlier-noted second Thursday slot did not reappear on this recheck.

The Venue's Website lists this night, but may not be current.

Open-mic listing sites give conflicting schedules for this venue: one describes a near-daily open mic, Monday through Saturday, 4:00-6:30 PM with a $5 cover, and another describes a single Friday 6:30 PM free open mic hosted by a comic called Punching Bag. The Venue's Website is a thin page with no schedule, cost, or signup information (checked Aug 13, 2026) [s1]. Neither listing-site version could be confirmed against it.

The venue's own events page, checked Aug 13, 2026, is titled 'Mimsey's Open Mic – every 1st & 3rd Sunday – Music, Comedy, & Poetry Welcome' [s1]. An open-mic listing site had instead said Monday and weekly, but the venue's own current page is treated as more reliable.

The venue's own events page, checked Aug 13, 2026, is titled 'Original Music Open Mic Every 3rd Tuesday – hosted by Luke,' mostly music with two sets set aside for poetry and comedy [s1]. An open-mic listing site had instead said every Tuesday, but the venue's own current page is treated as more reliable.

The sources disagree about whether it still runs.

Weekly on Tuesdays, 7:00 PM. The Venue's Website does not mention it.

The Venue's Website does not mention an open mic (checked Aug 13, 2026) [s1]. An open-mic listing site's corrected listing shows Good Judy with a Monday 7:00 PM slot only, no Tuesday time [s2]. That contradicts the Tuesday listed here.

The Venue's Website, checked Aug 13, 2026, confirms it runs open mic programming with a cover charge [s1]. Whether performers must bring their own audience or can sign up freely was not confirmed in the text found.

A listing on badslava.com lists this night, but may not be current.

No website was found for the venue. An open-mic listing site, checked again with a corrected link, lists a Friday 6:30 PM slot and a second Wednesday 10:30 PM slot here, but a listing-site lead alone does not confirm current activity [s1]. Those slots match earlier findings.

An open-mic listing site's corrected listing (checked Aug 13, 2026) shows Hart Bar with a Wednesday 8:00 PM slot only, no Monday time [s1]. That contradicts the Monday listed here for this address, and no Venue's Website exists to settle which is correct.

A listing on badslava.com lists this night, but may not be current.

The Venue's Website could not be reached in either check, which says nothing either way. An open-mic listing site, checked again today with a corrected link, still lists a Thursday 7:30 PM slot here, but that alone does not confirm current activity [s1].

The venue's own open-mic page states this event 'takes place every single Wednesday,' with its own sign-up and draw process [s1]. This corrects an earlier claim of Tuesday, which had never been verified.

The sources disagree about whether it still runs.

Weekly on Thursdays, 7:00 PM. The Venue's Website does not mention it.

The Venue's Website does not mention an open mic (checked Aug 13, 2026) [s1]. An open-mic listing site's corrected listing shows Mable's Smokehouse & Banquet Hall with a Tuesday 7:00 PM slot only, no Thursday time [s2]. That contradicts the Thursday listed here.

A listing on badslava.com lists this night, but may not be current.

Weekly on Sundays, 8:00 PM. The Venue's Website has gone offline since we found this.

No website was found for the venue. An open-mic listing site, checked again today with a corrected link, still lists a Sunday 8:00 PM slot here, but that alone does not confirm current activity [s1].

The venue's own calendar, checked Aug 13, 2026, lists 'Creep Mic' as a Sunday comedy open mic at 3:00 PM [s1]. It runs the same day as, and shortly before, 'Loose Lips Mic' at the same venue, and the two likely alternate weeks, though that pattern has not been confirmed.

The venue's own calendar, checked Aug 13, 2026, lists 'Loose Lips Mic' as a Sunday comedy open mic at 3:30 PM [s1]. Another Sunday comedy mic, 'Creep Mic,' runs about 30 minutes earlier at the same venue, most likely alternating weeks with it, though that pattern has not been confirmed.

The venue's own calendar, checked Aug 13, 2026, lists 'Numbskull' as a Friday comedy open mic at 5 PM [s1]. Which specific Fridays it runs every other week on has not been pinned down.

The venue's own calendar, checked Aug 13, 2026, describes 'Some Fun Lines' as a monthly satire and humor open mic, where performers bring about 4 minutes of McSweeney's/Onion/Reductress-style writing, starting at 6:30 PM [s1]. Which day of the month it falls on was not captured and remains unknown.

The venue's own calendar, checked Aug 13, 2026, describes 'The Open Mic at Pete's' as running for almost 25 years, hosted by Bruce Martin, with sign-up at 4 PM and music starting at 5 PM, one drink minimum to perform [s1]. A news article about a celebrity appearance at the venue confirms it is an active music venue generally, but says nothing about this specific mic's schedule.

The Venue's Website, checked Aug 13, 2026, lists 'The Sketch Mic NYC' on Tuesdays at 8:30 PM, an open call to sign up to submit a sketch, act, or both [s1]. Whether it runs every Tuesday or only some Tuesdays was inferred from the page's wording, not confirmed by a full season calendar.

The Venue's Website, checked Aug 13, 2026, lists a 'Weekly Stand Up Open Mic' branded 'Friday mic: Deadass,' Fridays at 6 PM [s1]. An open-mic listing site had instead labeled all of this venue's mics generically as music, which the venue's own page corrects for Friday specifically.

A listing on badslava.com suggests it may have ended.

An open-mic listing site's current 7-day schedule (checked Aug 13, 2026) does not list Sankofa Aban Bed & Breakfast at all [s1]. The listing may have lapsed since it was first noted, or the Friday and Saturday slots listed here may never have been there; no Venue's Website exists to settle it.

A listing on badslava.com lists this night, but may not be current.

No website was found for the venue; its domain failed to resolve in both checks. An open-mic listing site, checked again today with a corrected link, still lists a Thursday 7:00 PM slot here, and neither secondary night has been added as its own listing [s1]. The secondary nights it names have shifted between checks, from a Tuesday/Monday pair to a Sunday/Monday pair.

The venue's own about page, checked Aug 13, 2026, confirms it runs weekly karaoke and an open mic among its regular programming after 13 years in operation [s1].

Weekly on Sundays, 7:45 PM. Only one source reports it.

An open-mic listing site's corrected listing (checked Aug 13, 2026) shows The Corner Store with a Tuesday 7:45 PM slot only, no Sunday time [s1]. That contradicts the Sunday listed here for this address, and no Venue's Website exists to settle which is correct.

The Venue's Website lists this event, but may not be current.

The Venue's Website, checked Aug 13, 2026, has a page titled 'Open Mic Signup | Comedy Open Mic,' confirming genuine open sign-up [s1]. Specific nightly times and cost come from an open-mic listing site, not reconfirmed this time.

The Venue's Website, checked Aug 13, 2026, lists 'Open Mic' as its own event category alongside Trivia, Music, Story Telling, and a DJ dance party, confirming a standing open mic program [s1]. The specific Monday 10 PM time comes from an open-mic listing site, not matched to a dated calendar entry this time.

The Venue's Website lists this event, but may not be current.

The one mention found has no dated, checkable link behind it, so it counts as a note rather than a source. It is said to run weekly and to have operated since 2002, suggesting a real, long-running event, but neither claim is confirmed as current.

The venue's events page lists this night, but may not be current.

One possible source is a single events-guide mention, with no fixed venue address listed here and no dated link that was captured. No venue-owned page was found to check, so this second-Friday event remains unconfirmed.

The Venue's Website lists this event, but may not be current.

A launch feature dated March 2026 describes this storytelling open mic as newly started, but does not give a recurring day, time, or frequency. It is too new and too thin on its own to confirm a standing recurring event.
