An
open mic is an opportunity for unscheduled performers to get
up and present their material in front of a live audience.
This means that the mic (short for microphone) is open to
those who ask.
These nights have become extremely popular and most stand-up
clubs offer open mic nights. If you would like to perform
on an open mic night, you should ask in advance as to the
rules, etc., regarding the open mic night. Often you have
to reserve your spot or they draw from a hat at the club.
Many of the greats of comedy got their start at open mic nights.
Many others use the chance to try material that they will
later use in front of their paying audiences.
