(Updated 19 September, 2022)
Practice is essential to a stand-up comedy career. Sure, the Hard Knock Knocks stand-up comedy course will allow you to hit the ground running, but even we acknowledge that it’s still no substitute for getting up on stage, trialling your material, and bombing – often.

Tudor Hotel incorrectly listed as having open mic on Sunday
But it’s only on Thursday
Thanks Karin. I’ve made the update.
Love how Karen spelled her name with an i to try get away with looking less of a Karen.
Hey Magic Mic is no longer performing at Monkey Magic.
Any of these opening up again soon? <3
Best to check with each one-by-one.
COVID-19 has knocked out quite a few open mic rooms for now. We’ll be updating this page as soon as we learn of rooms returning, or new ones opening.
Western syd is in need of one
Let me know when one does appear.
