A listing on badslava.com lists this night, but may not be current.
Weekly on Wednesdays, 7:00 PM. Only one source reports it.
This is the same venue as the Monday listing above, whose own guessed website loaded only a very thin stub, too little to be the real site. An open-mic listing site tags the Monday instance as paid and this Wednesday instance differently, a contradiction the note leaves unresolved [s1].

Weekly on Mondays, 7:00 PM. Only one source reports it.
An open-mic listing site is the only support for this Monday, paid listing [s1]. The venue's own guessed website loaded only a very thin stub, too little to be the real site, and the only other account found is a blog post from 2015, more than a decade old.
The first Thursday of each month. Only one source reports it.
The venue's own music page carries pandemic-era language about hosting 'large-scale events again,' which appears to be stale boilerplate rather than a current statement that the jam is suspended [s2]. A regional tourism page currently and consistently describes an ongoing monthly First Thursday jam co-hosted by The Crooked Road at this venue [s1]. That tourism page is treated as the more reliable signal of current status.
A news listing gives specific forward dates for the next two Fifth Saturday events, Aug 29 and Oct 31, 2026, both genuine fifth Saturdays, confirming the series is presently active [s1]. This corrects the decade-old staleness of the original citation for this event.
Weekly on Tuesdays, 8:00 PM. Only one source reports it.
An open-mic listing site's calendar lists 'Verses Open Mic' at 9 N. 17th St, weekly on Tuesdays, with upcoming instances varying through Sep 2026 (checked Aug 14, 2026) [s1]. A social-media account for the event is active [s2]. Other sources describe it as a well-established, long-running Richmond open mic, called '19 years strong.'
Sources mention Wednesdays but are not confirmed; actual night is unclear.
Call to confirm the night
The sources disagree on the night.
A ticketing site's organizer series for this comedy open mic logs seven events, most recently dated Apr 22, 2026, about four months before the latest check [s1]. A magazine article describes it as an ongoing open mic at Basic City Beer Co [s2]. Sources disagree on frequency — weekly versus biweekly — and that contradiction is left standing.
Weekly on Mondays, 8:00 PM. Only one source reports it.
An open-mic listing site's calendar does not currently list this venue [s2]. The Venue's Website could not be read, returning an access block — not evidence either way. Other sources describe the venue's regular entertainment as Thursday-night live music, which may or may not be the same event as this Monday listing. That Monday listing originally came from an open-mic listing site [s1].
Sources mention Tuesdays but are not confirmed; actual night is unclear. Only one source reports it.

An event listing site's calendar lists an 'Open Mic at Poe's' with sign-up at 7:30 PM and music at 8:30 PM, music only, with upcoming instances into December 2026 (checked Aug 14, 2026) [s1]. That same listing's own recurrence note logs it as first-Tuesday-of-month only [s1]. A Facebook event page names the same Tuesday night but titles it 'every Tuesday' [s2]. The frequency conflict is left unresolved.
Night and frequency are unclear — no source gives either. The Venue's Website does not mention it.
Call to confirm the night
The sources disagree about whether it still runs.
The library's own current events page does not mention 'open mic' (checked Aug 14, 2026) [s2]. The original finding for this event was only a photo caption with no schedule detail [s1]. Its day, time, frequency, and type all remain undetermined.
Held Tuesday; the ComedyRVA scene calendar (public Google Calendar, last modified 2026-07-09) lists 'Open Mic Night At The Camel' on the 2nd and 4th Thursdays with dated instances to 2026-12-24 and 2027 recurrence rules; the Venue's Website carries no event titles, so neither side is venue-confirmed.

The Venue's Website does not mention 'open mic' (checked Aug 14, 2026) [s2]. An open-mic listing site's calendar confirms two other current open mic series at this venue — one on the last Wednesday of the month, one on the 1st and 3rd Thursdays [s3]. Neither matches this Tuesday listing. An open-mic listing site is the only source for the original Tuesday listing [s1].
Some sources call it biweekly, but confirmed past dates are 14 to 21 days apart, and the brewery's own events page currently shows no upcoming Comedy Lab date at all.

The sources disagree on the night.
The Venue's Website hosts an event listing for 'Open Mic Comedy Night with the Comedy Lab,' sign-ups at 6:30pm and the mic running 7-9pm, most recently dated Oct 8, 2025, about ten months before the latest check [s1]. The series still appears in the venue's current events category listing (checked Aug 14, 2026) [s2].
The first Tuesday of each month, 8:00 PM. The Venue's Website does not mention it.
The venue's own homepage and dedicated events page do not mention comedy or an open mic, though the events page reads as an unmaintained placeholder rather than a curated calendar, so this is inconclusive rather than a sign of closure (checked Aug 14, 2026) [s2]. The only outside source found was last verified in Apr 2025, about 16 months before the latest check [s1].
Weekly on Mondays, 6:00 PM. The Venue's Website does not mention it.
This venue has rebranded from Crooked Run Brewing to Crooked Run Fermentation, at the same address. Both its home page and its Sterling-specific page do not mention 'open mic' (checked Aug 14, 2026) [s2]. A magazine article from Jan 2026 describes the chain running Monday open mic nights, without tying that to a specific location [s1].
Weekly on Saturdays, 6:00 PM. Only one source reports it.
The venue's own community page describes an ongoing weekly Saturday open mic called 'The Beat' (checked Aug 14, 2026) [s1]. A magazine article from Jan 2026 describes the same emcee-hosted Saturday event [s2].
Weekly on Tuesdays, 7:00 PM. The Venue's Website does not mention it.
The venue's own 'What's Happening' page does not mention 'open mic' (checked Aug 14, 2026) [s2]. The same is true on its Live Music page [s3]. The most recent independent confirmation found is a social-media video from Jul 2025, over a year old for a claimed weekly event, and no dated closure statement was found.
The venue's status is unresolved: an undated review-site label and an undated social-media bio both call it 'closed' or 'temporarily closed,' without a closure date. A 2022 news article describes a roughly month-long closure after a fire, not a permanent one [s4]. The venue's former website now shows unrelated gambling content (checked Sep 7, 2026) [s2]. The Tuesday 8:00 PM music open mic itself rests only on a listing site [s1].

Weekly on Tuesdays, 7:00 PM. The Venue's Website does not mention it.
The Venue's Website does not mention 'open mic,' despite advertising live music most nights of the week (checked Aug 14, 2026) [s2]. An open-mic listing site is the only other source for this Tuesday listing [s1].
Weekly on Thursdays, 7:00 PM. The Venue's Website does not mention it.
The venue's own current 'All Events' page does not mention 'open mic' at all (checked Aug 14, 2026) [s2]. One uncited mention suggested the event actually runs on Fridays, but no source for that claim could be found, so it is noted but not adopted. An open-mic listing site is the only source for this Thursday listing [s1].
