Do you have a pressing comedy question? Ask and I may answer it in a post here on The Museletter.
Q: Are online open mics worth it?
- Steve L., comedian, Columbus, OH.
For comedians who would like to get more stage time, but have trouble managing the long waits, the awkward and uncomfortable seating arrangements, the typical cost of attending open mics which can include a drink, a fee, parking, gas and tolls, the cost of childcare and other inconveniences, may I introduce the humble online open mic.
Online open mics began to get more popular during the pandemic when people were reticent to share breathing space with others, and while the total amount of online mics has dipped since the pandemic, they are still going strong. But where do you find all these easy to access, typically free open mics?
