Voodoo Daddy's sits at 68a London Street in the heart of Norwich and bills itself as the city's only fearlessly independent dive bar, pizza joint and live events space. It's an inclusive room that plays host to everything from bands and artists across all genres to cabaret, comedy and poetry — the booking sweep runs from post-punk and neo-soul to new-wave jazz, rock, indie and electronic. With a capacity of around 150, an in-house PA, a wall of cocktails and craft beer, the best pizza in town and free Guitar Hero, all gigs are programmed by Pizza Club Promotions. It's a genuine grassroots cornerstone of the Norwich Lanes scene and listed for Independent Venue Week.

The Night
Voodoo Daddy's is Norwich's much-loved dive bar and music venue on London Street, and its Tuesday open mic is a genuine anything-goes night — music, poetry, stand-up, dance, drag, burlesque, mime and whatever else turns up. It runs 7pm to 11pm with sign-ups from 6:30pm, free entry, and two songs (or time equivalent) per act; bands with full drumkits can't be accommodated. Inclusive, eclectic and unpretentious, hosted by Robin (@robinevansesq) — exactly the kind of grass-roots night Norwich does so well.
