If you’re looking for a room in which to perform as an open mic comedian, be warned. Not all rooms offer the same environment. Some are merely the corner of a pub. Others have no lighting, literally forcing you perform in the dark. So to help here’s a breakdown of Melbourne open mic (and curated) rooms rated on those essential components that we think make for a great experience – for both the audience and the comedian. And if you’re a room runner, be sure to promote your comedy room on the Gigme events app.

Hi John,
You can try Le Joke on a Monday. They are very supportive of new comedians. In your 3 to 5 min, how many punchlines do you have?
