Open Mics in New York

The sources disagree about whether it still runs.

The venue's own home page does not mention an open mic (checked Aug 13, 2026) [s1]. Its calendar page says the same [s2]. Its events page says the same [s3].

The Venue's Website suggests it may have ended.

Weekly on Mondays, 8:00 PM. The Venue's Website does not mention it.

The Venue's Website, a substantial and fully readable page, does not mention 'open mic,' 'Monday,' or 'sign up' anywhere (checked Aug 13, 2026) [s1]. A third-party directory separately claims comedians sign up via social media or in person, but that is not confirmed by the venue itself.

Both sources list this event, but neither confirms recent activity.

The club's own ticketing pages show a numbered series of past open mic events, suggesting an established run, though one page could not be loaded to read directly [s1]. A rival club's own venues page names Rodney's as one of its circuit venues, $20 drink minimum, 21+ [s2]. An open-mic listing site gives a full weekly schedule: Wed 9:45 PM, Fri 5 PM, Mon 7 PM & 9:45 PM, Sun 5 PM, Thu 9:45 PM.

Both sources give the same night and time, but neither confirms recent activity.

The Venue's Website is a near-empty page and cannot confirm or rule out anything (checked Aug 13, 2026) [s1]. A promoter that books this room lists a specific pre-booked showcase here with six named comedians, not an open-signup format, though the same promoter elsewhere uses open-mic terms for its other shows [s2].

The sources disagree on the night.

This is a real Salvation Army community center at 175 E 125th Street, a plausible host for a civic open mic (checked Aug 13, 2026) [s1]. No source -- its own site, local press, or a civic listing -- confirms a Monday open mic here specifically.

The sources disagree about whether it still runs.

Weekly on Tuesdays, 6:00 PM. The Venue's Website does not mention it.

The Venue's Website showed only a small amount of text, likely a page whose content never loaded, rather than a genuine check (checked Aug 13, 2026) [s1]. A local venue profile describes the downstairs lounge as hosting open mic nights generically, and names a separate monthly jam at the same venue [s2]. Nothing confirms the specific Tuesday 6 PM slot claimed elsewhere.

The Venue's Website suggests it may have ended.

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

A review site describes SkyBox Sports Bar in East Harlem as hosting comedy, karaoke, and game watch-parties, with posted hours showing it closed on Mondays (checked Aug 13, 2026) [s1]. That directly contradicts the Monday 7:00 PM open mic claimed elsewhere, which may be a wrong day or a wrong-venue mix-up.

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

The Venue's Website confirms the term 'Open Mics' appears on its site, describing its programming [s1].

The Venue's Website lists a upcoming instance for Aug 19, 2026, 8:00-11:00 PM, house band followed by a jam, no cover, 21+ [s1].

The Venue's Website lists a upcoming instance for Aug 19, 2026, and states 'Every Wednesday night ... with @russnolanjazzsax' [s1].

The Venue's Website lists a upcoming instance of this Sunday jazz jam for Aug 16, 2026, with full event details [s1].

The sources disagree about whether it still runs.

The club's actual website does not mention an open mic (checked Aug 13, 2026) [s1]. Its booking platform page says the same [s2]. The only positive mention, a listing titled 'Saturday 4PM Open Mic,' is dated Oct 26, 2024 and sourced from data aggregation rather than the venue directly, making it too old and too indirect to confirm a current mic [s3].

The venue's own events page, checked Aug 13, 2026, repeatedly lists 'Open Mic' paired with the host name 'Slim' [s1]. This confirms 'Open Mic with Slim' is real, current programming, not simply an open-mic listing site's claim.

The Venue's Website states, 'Open mic standup is going strong! JOIN US upstairs every Tuesday 7-9pm. Sign up starts at 5pm' [s1]. This corrects an open-mic listing site's earlier claim of 7:30 PM with a two-drink minimum.

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

The Venue's Website description states, 'We have professionally curated shows and nightly open mics,' distinguishing its booked shows from open-signup open mics [s1].

A page on grislypear.com lists this event, but may not be current.

The Venue's Website hosts a live calendar titled 'Midtown Open Mic Schedule,' distinct from its separate Greenwich Village location [s1]. This page could not be reloaded to re-check this time, so the earlier finding is relied on rather than reconfirmed.

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

The Venue's Website's navigation links to a page named '/improv-jams-open-mics/,' confirming its 'Jams & Mics' section is genuinely built around open mics, separate from its booked 'Improv Ensembles Auditions' [s1].

A ticket page on meetup.com lists this event, but may not be current.

No website was found for the venue, which rents out its room rather than running its own site. A ticketing site lists a promoter's 'Comedy Show at The Rose,' free admission with a one-drink minimum, held on a Saturday — explicitly branded a comedy show, not an open mic [s1]. An open-mic listing site elsewhere claims a Tuesday 5:00 PM (biweekly) and a Wednesday 7:00 PM schedule instead, matching neither day.

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].

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.

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

The Venue's Website links to a dedicated 'Open Mics' booking page, kept separate from its 'Classes' and 'New Talent Showcase' offerings [s1].

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.

The sources disagree about whether it still runs.

The Venue's Website, fully read on Aug 13, 2026, did not mention 'open mic,' 'jam session,' or 'open jam' anywhere [s1]. A recheck on Sep 5, 2026 found the venue active and hosting a dated festival this week [s2]. Its weekly-schedule page is a stub behind a widget that could not be read, so the jam claim could not be confirmed or ruled out this time [s3]. The day and frequency of any jam remain unknown.

A page on longislandopenmics.com lists this night, but may not be current.

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

No website was found for this host-branded open mic. An open-mic listing site names this Tuesday night open mic [s1]. No other source was found for it.

A page on longislandopenmics.com lists this night, but may not be current.

Weekly on Fridays, 7:30 PM. Only one source reports it.

No other source names a distinct venue or address for 'Friday's Open Mic.' The listing site that first named it never captured one either (checked Aug 13, 2026) [s1]. This may be a duplicate listing for the BrickHouse Brewery Friday open mic rather than a distinct event, though it has not been merged or removed.

Both sources give the same night and time, but neither confirms recent activity.

No official website was found for the venue. A regional events site names 'Kyle Fitzpatrick's Open Mic Night' here on Friday [s1]. It is the only source for this event, insufficient alone to confirm current activity. An article headline suggests the brewery may be changing ownership, but it was not read or dated, so it is not treated as evidence yet.

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

No source states a fixed recurring weekday for this storytelling series. The organizer's own event page currently shows zero upcoming dates, which could mean nothing is scheduled yet, not that the series has ended [s1]. A public radio station's community calendar describes it as a recurring community series [s2].
