The Night
Monthly open mic held on the third Thursday of every month at 7pm in Unit 5, hosted by Mike and Rona. Admission is free and the night is deliberately broad: performers can sing, play an instrument, read poetry or tell jokes, and complete beginners are explicitly welcomed alongside experienced players. Slot length and sign up method are not published.
