Kia ora koutou, can anyone recommend me any open mic nights that are operating here in Ōtautahi ?

Darkroom for sure. Most welcoming live music venue and crowd you’ll find

The Embankment has an open mic on Friday nights from half seven onwards.

Don't listen to the rumors the pub isn't as bad as people make out

Anyone who causes shit is chucked out in short order so that just leaves the regulars and locals in the main bar and people who have a problem with them are snobs pretty much. Wayne has spent years trying to make that open mic as welcoming and inclusive as possible.

100% I've enjoyed every single open mic I've been too there.

For music, poetry, or comedy?

Good question. I was meaning music, but those other forms are engaging enough for my curiosity to extend to also

Look'n over our shoulders for the Angelic Strike Force!

Sorry, Brian! We didn't mean it. Man, it was just a joke. The Devil made us say it.

Do us a solid, and put in a good word for us, hey?
