What is an "open mic"?
An open mic is an event where individuals can perform or present their talents in front of an audience without prior booking or selection. Typically, participants sign up to take turns using a microphone to showcase their skills, which may include singing, poetry, comedy, storytelling, or other forms of performance. Open mic events are often held at venues such as cafes, bars, or community centers and provide an opportunity for emerging artists or anyone with a creative talent to perform in a supportive environment.
