The Open Mic

Unpredictable, chaotic and Bath's cheapest night out, with anything from polished pros testing new bits to first-timers gripping the mic for the first time. Sets are capped at five minutes and we're not shy about the horn if anyone runs over, so the pace never drags even with 20 acts on the bill. It's the closest thing Bath has to a comedy lucky dip: you never quite know what you're walking into, and that's the point.
