Comedy on State’s long-running Wednesday open mic is a favorite stop for stand-up watchers, and a performance rite of passage for local and regional comedians. This Halloween the venue is hosting a bonus night of open mic, with a costume contest. Stand-ups can now sign up online starting at noon, but you have to be at Comedy on State for the show to learn who gets a coveted lineup spot. Doors open for audience members at 7:30 p.m., first come, first served.

media release: *Sign up to perform will be available 12pm – 7pm on 10/31/24*

How do I sign up to perform?

Sign up is available 12pm- 7pm on Thursday, 10/31/24 and is now ONLINE ONLY. Please note that signing up does not guarantee a spot on the show. We usually have around 40-50 comedians sign up every week with hopes of getting one of the 20 available spots.

When will I know if I’m performing?

List of performers is put out promptly at 8:30pm. This list is not posted online. You must be present to find out if you are performing.

How long is each set?

Sets are 3-5 minutes in length. Most sets are 3 minutes long.

Is there a 2 beverage minimum for the Open Mic?

Nope! The Mic is different from our regular weekly shows so there is no beverage minimum. We do still have full bar service!

Can I make a reservation to hold spots?

Unfortunately, no. All seats are first come first serve. We recommend arriving early to guarantee a spot in the showroom.
