Open Mic gig list

Hi

I think it would be useful to build up a list of gigs for amateur stand up comedians.

I'm just starting out in the South West and find it really hard to find places to perform.

Please post any gigs you know of below:

Gig Name: ...............
Venue and location: ....................
Contact name and number: ...............
Time and regularity:................

Agreed. Until we do something a bit more set in stone, please keep to the style below and keep on topic.

Thank you Tony

I was aware of this group but find a lot of the regions aren't represented too strongly, particularly the southwest! There are definitely more around.

If people post on here then hopefully we can compile a definitive list and pin the thread.

Not quite the South West but South Wales has it's own group;

Hi Guys

I currently run 2 amateur stand up gigs in the south east (Aylesbury Buckinghamshire), it is unpaid but if you let me know in advance you can get up to 15 minutes slots.

I have one coming up this Sunday the 6th of Feb at Stars cafe bar.
If anyone is interested in performing please drop me an email adsingleton@hotmail.co.uk and I will send you further details.

Cheers

Hi ya

Gig Name: Gags and Gals!
Venue and location: East London (tbc)
Contact name and email: Violet - missvioletcrumble@gmail.com
Time and regularity: New show debuting in October 2011 and then every two months
Notes: We're looking for London-based amateur male and female stand up as well as UK headliners. Slots to be 15 to 20 mins in length. Gags and Gals! is a hilariously sexy evening of original and witty stand up comedy with a dash of tantillising classic striptease - two art forms that have been keen bedfellows since the Victorian era.

Gags and Gals! ... come for the gals but stay for the gags

New acts won't have a good 15-20 minutes.

Giving new acts 15 mins sounds like two-way torture.

Sounds like a way of filling stage time for free.
