The Venue's Website could not be opened in an earlier check but opens now. It lists 'Gladys' Open Mic' running Thursdays at 8:00 PM, with instances for Aug 13, 20, and 27, 2026 [s1]. This corrects an open-mic listing site's earlier claim of 5:30 PM to the venue's own stated 8:00 PM; a $14 cost with a free drink comes from that listing site and was not reverified.
Monthly on a Friday, 5:00 PM; no source says which week. The Venue's Website does not mention it.

The sources disagree about whether it still runs.
The venue's own homepage does not mention an open mic (checked Aug 13, 2026) [s1]. Its exhibitions page showed only a near-empty response, which could not be read for real content either [s2].
Weekly on Wednesdays, 5:30 PM. Only one source reports it.
The venue's own booking page, checked Aug 13, 2026, lists 'open mic nights' among its regular events [s1]. A food-journalism profile quotes the owner, Emmanuel, describing open mic nights, networking events, and karaoke parties at the cafe [s2]. Neither confirms the specific Wednesday 5:30 PM time, which comes from an open-mic listing site only.
The venue's own open-mic page states 'Every Wednesday 6:30 PM – 9:30 PM, $3 Entry' [s1]. This page was found at the venue's correct website address, after an earlier guessed domain failed to resolve. This matches one open-mic listing site's Wednesday claim and rejects another's claim of Tuesday.
The venue's own homepage does not mention an open mic (checked Aug 13, 2026) [s1]. Its events page says the same [s2]. An open-mic listing site shows one dated instance, 'The Peoples Open Mic,' from Aug 14, 2024 -- about two years before the Aug 13, 2026 check, older than the roughly six months expected for a still-weekly mic [s4].

The Venue's Website, checked Aug 13, 2026, confirms the term 'Open Mic' is used for its programming [s1]. This matches what was already known for this listing.
A ticketing site's event page for 'Let's Go Mental – A Free Open Mic' states it runs every Wednesday, 5:00-6:00 PM, in the Hotel Edison's Times Square lobby, free and PG-13, sign-in by 4:55 PM, capped at 10 comics, and hosted by GuberJokes and Stand Up NY rather than by the hotel [s1]. An open-mic listing site separately describes the same Wednesday, 5:00 PM, free.

The organization's own website lists a full 2026 dated schedule for this jam, Mar 23 through Oct 26, plus a Nov 23 holiday edition, at the National Jazz Museum in Harlem [s1]. The same page's older text names a midtown musicians' union instead, but the dated schedule and address are treated as more current.
The venue's events page lists this night, but may not be current.
The venue's own events page does contain the words 'open mic,' but only inside what reads as an unrelated list of search keywords alongside 'Knicks,' 'Trivia,' and 'best burger in NYC' -- not as an actual program listing (checked Aug 13, 2026) [s1]. Judy Z's markets itself as a sports tavern, and no other source confirms a comedy open mic here beyond an open-mic listing site.
The Venue's Website lists this event, but may not be current.
The Venue's Website lists named 'Open Mic' time slots at The Buddha Room, using open-signup language with no curated or booked wording [s1]. It requires a $15 beverage minimum and is 21+ (16+ with a guardian).
No website was found for the venue. Review and directory sites describe it purely as a century-old traditional Irish bar, with no mention of any live-performance or open-mic programming (checked Aug 13, 2026) [s1].
Weekly on Mondays, 5:00 PM. Something about this has changed recently — confirm before going.
The comedy club's own brand open-mic page lists this Midtown location, 241 E 24th St, with two weekly slots: Mondays at 5:00 PM and Fridays at 4:00 PM, $5 to perform, in-person sign-up, arriving 20-30 minutes early [s1]. This corrects an open-mic listing site's earlier claim of Thursday 6 PM and a Sunday time, neither of which appears on the club's current schedule.
Weekly on Wednesdays, 5:00 PM. Something about this has changed recently — confirm before going.
The comedy club's own brand open-mic page lists this East Village location, 85 E 4th St, with two weekly slots: Tuesdays at 4:00 PM and Wednesdays at 5:00 PM, $5 to perform, in-person sign-up [s1]. An open-mic listing site's Wednesday 5:00 PM claim matches exactly, and its Tuesday claim of 5:00 PM is close to the club's stated 4:00 PM, but its claimed Sunday 5:30 PM slot does not appear on the club's current schedule at all [s2].

The company's own open-mic page lists a weekly schedule at its Midtown and East Village locations -- Mondays 5 PM and Fridays 4 PM at Midtown, Tuesdays 4 PM and Wednesdays 5 PM at East Village -- but does not list the Upper West Side location at all (checked Aug 13, 2026) [s1]. A comedy promoter's own page separately names 'New York Comedy Club UWS' as one of its own circuit venues, but gives no day or time [s2].

The Venue's Website lists this night, but may not be current.
A venue profile describes Night Club 101, the former Pyramid Club space, as hosting genre-spanning live performances and DJ sets, with no mention of an open-mic series specifically (checked Aug 13, 2026) [s1]. It reads as a curated, booked live-music club rather than an open-signup format.
The producing organization's own event page lists a Jun 3, 2026 occurrence, with recurrence data confirming this runs every Wednesday night, 7:30-10 PM, mixing live music, stand-up comedy, and spoken word [s1]. This corrects an open-mic listing site's earlier claim of Thursday and music-only. A news site's calendar listing from Dec 2025 corroborates the same recurring series [s2].
The Venue's Website confirms its monthly Final Friday Slam is currently running at the Loisaida Center, 710 E 9th St, while the Nuyorican's own building is under renovation [s1]. This is a relocation to a real, fixed address, not a case of no fixed venue.

The Venue's Website confirms its flagship Open Mic is currently running at the Loisaida Center, 710 E 9th St, while the Nuyorican's own building is under renovation [s1]. This is a relocation to a real, fixed address, not a case of no fixed venue.
The Venue's Website confirms this open mic has relocated to the Loisaida Center on 'other Wednesdays,' while the Nuyorican's own building has been closed for renovation since Nov 2023 — a relocation, not a closure [s1]. Two of the venue's own pages disagree on sign-up capacity, one saying 25 names taken and another saying 15 guaranteed spots, and that conflict is left unresolved here.
The organization's own website names this series, its host, and its first-Wednesday cadence, currently held off-site at the Loisaida Center during the same building renovation as its sibling series [s1]. It combines a featured performer with an open floor for other readers [s2]. This is unlike a separate, curated-only reading series at a different venue.
The fourth Saturday of each month, 1:30 PM. The Venue's Website does not mention it.
The library's own event pages could not be read directly (checked Aug 13, 2026). Archived copies show no captures of the specific event pages cited earlier, a lack of crawler coverage rather than proof those events did not happen [s1]. A ticketing site confirms the series' 'every 4th Saturday' framing, but its exposed date is an older Mar 1, 2025 instance marked sales ended, not a fresh 2026 date [s3].
A library event listing describes this as a joint NYPL and National Writers Union program, held the third Saturday of the month, 2:00-4:00 PM [s1]. The library's own website could not be reloaded to recheck this time, but nothing found contradicts that schedule.
A ticketing site's dated listing shows this poetry open mic ran Apr 18, 2026, confirming day, time, and that it is current [s1]. The National Writers Union's own website separately confirms the series is real and ongoing from its side, as co-organizer [s2]. The venue's own pages disagree on sign-up capacity, one saying 25 names taken and another saying 15 guaranteed spots, and that conflict is left unresolved.

The second Thursday of each month, 6:30 PM. The Venue's Website has gone offline since we found this.

A library listing shows two dated instances of this poetry open mic, Feb 27 and Apr 24, 2026, both falling on a Friday [s1]. This resolves earlier uncertainty about which day it runs. The library's own website could not be reloaded to recheck directly this time.
A page on oneandone.nyc lists this night, but may not be current.
Weekly on Wednesdays, 6:15 PM. Only one source reports it.
A venue profile describes this as a long-running Irish pub, open since 1989, whose current promotion emphasizes a sports bar upstairs and Friday/Saturday nightlife downstairs, with no Wednesday entertainment programming found (checked Aug 13, 2026) [s1]. Only historical, undated references to past open-mic events were found, with nothing confirming one runs today.

Coverage of this recently opened (2025) cyberpunk-themed cocktail bar inside Hotel 32-32 describes it as reservation- and membership-oriented, with claw machines and cocktails as its draw, and does not mention an open mic or any amateur-performance programming (checked Aug 13, 2026) [s1].

The venue's own events page lists a full branded weekly lineup -- Sunday BBQ, 'Blue Monday,' 'TRL Tuesdays,' Thursday trivia, 'Mouthpiece Thursday,' Friday DJ nights, and Saturday bingo -- with nothing branded 'open mic' anywhere (checked Aug 13, 2026) [s1]. 'Mouthpiece Thursday' could plausibly be a spoken-word night, but no description of it was found to confirm that.
