How the nights run. Of the 12 running nights, 5 are weekly and 7 run less often - check the date before you go. Most start between 19:30 and 20:00. Where a slot length is listed, it is usually 12 minutes. Where a sign-up time is listed, the list usually opens around 19:30.
Who plays. Besides music, 1 takes poetry and 1 takes comedy. 3 list a PA, so singer-songwriters can arrive with just an instrument. None lists an entry fee.
