The Online Open Mic hosted by Elemen2al

Join us for our weekly online open mic - The Online Open Mic (#TOOM) - free - on every Thursday evening at 8:00 P.M. Eastern Time, hosted by Elemen2al the Poet. Sign up to perform one poem or song or comedy bit (4 minutes or less) by ordering an "Artist RSVP" ticket. ** The signups for 20 Artist-RSVP performance tickets start 24 hours before the open mic, on Wednesdays at 8:00 P.M. ET. If all 20 spots have been ordered by Thursday evening and you weren't able to sign up but you'd like to perform, join us in Zoom and ask in the chat pane to be added to the good-luck round (GLR) which takes place toward the end of the open mic. ** To perform and/or watch us live in Zoom: NEW Zoom meeting ID: 860-4964-4756 We also live-stream our open mic, to view us live and/or watch the playback thereafter: https://www.youtube.com/@NuyoricanPoetsCafe/streams ** NOTICE: By attending and/or participating in events by the Nuyorican Poets Cafe, you acknowledge that your voice and/or likeness may be recorded and/or photographed. ** Our online open mics are free for all participants, but your donations help us keep these events going - please consider donating at https://www.nuyorican.org/contribute Please keep your camera and mic on throughout your performance.
