Open Mics
Where the magic (and the silence) happens.
Hone Your Craft
Many of the world's top comedians began honing their stand-up skills on the EastVille stage! Our open mics feature the city's top up-and-coming comedians regularly crafting and fine-tuning their material.
EastVille often has the audience sitting in on the open mics watching the raw creative process at work. It's a unique opportunity to see jokes in their infancy, before they end up on Netflix specials.
