This is a free and open space to come listen to the wonderful talent of Bristol and maybe even share your own.

This open mic was started by the Bristol Writers Network, so there should be plenty of poetry and stories throughout the night. But the open mic is open to all sorts of creativity and talent. Whether that is music, dance, performance, or even a tight comedy set.

We will take sign ups in advance. To do so, please grab one of the free tickets and you will receive a message with our contact details about signing up. There will also be a sign up sheet on the night, so no need to commit ahead of time! But we will prioritise early sign ups. Each performer has a 5 minute slot. You do not have to use the whole time, and don't worry too much about going a little over. But if you need more than 5 minutes just let us know in advance so we can schedule properly.

The open mic is hosted by Wiper and True Barrel Rooms in St Werburghs (not the Taproom in Old Market!!), our set up is a simple mic and PA system so any music will have to be acoustic or your own amp system provided. The open mic is hosted in partnership with Horizon Press.
