How the nights run. 16 of the 20 running nights happen every week and 4 run less often, so check the date before you go. Most start at 20:00. Listed slot lengths are usually around 12 minutes each. Where a sign-up time is given, the list usually opens around 19:30.

Who plays. Besides music, 2 take poetry and 1 takes spoken word. 11 list a PA, so a singer-songwriter can turn up with just an instrument. None lists an entry fee.

After the open mic. Ready for a paid set? The Dundee venue directory lists the rooms that book live music, and the GX Index shows what they pay. Want to run one? How to start an open mic night.
