Held in the Cafe Space at Wycombe Arts Centre, this monthly open mic runs on the second Friday from 7:30pm to 10:30pm and is genuinely multi-disciplinary — music, stand-up comedy, poetry, dance and more all welcome. Each performer gets three songs or a 10-15 minute spot, with sign-up on the day. A friendly community arts setting rather than a pub night.
