What’s On

Open mic at Accidental Theatre with a full backline of instruments & mics. For performers or audiences interested in diverse & experimental music & jamming. All performers get a video recording of their set!

Performers, buy one ‘Performer Ticket’ per act.

Everyone else, buy an ‘Audience Ticket’!

If you’re a solo act, just buy a single Performer Ticket and you’re set. If you’re an act with more than one person, buy one Performer Ticket and as many extra Audience Tickets as you need to cover all your performers (so a trio needs 1 Performer Ticket and 2 Audience Tickets, for example).

Most performers find they have 10-12mins of actual performance time as slots are normally 15mins long total, including set-up and take-down time. If there are a lot of sign-ups in a given month, slots may be shorter and we may have to forgo the jam!
