The open mic night where anything goes. Expect creative talks, shower thoughts, true stories, hidden talents, deep and meaningfuls, and much more.
Previously, members of the audience have taken the mic to… share their grandma’s wisdom, say what they wish they’d said to their ex, dance, share their red pill moment, apologise to their vagina, rewrite the dictionary definition of “An Essex girl”, pun on command, ask for a hug, reveal a tattoo of Phil Mitchell, share their life motto, observe a minute of silence, form a human pyramid, serenade the audience, thank their mum, or invite the audience to kiss them.

Huh?
Special Guest is the open mic night where anything goes. Anyone can take the stage to share anything for 60 seconds. Expect creative talks, shower thoughts, true stories, hidden talents, deep and meaningfuls, and much more.
How it works:
Listen, clap, cheer. Support your fellow special guests.
Sit back, listen, and enjoy the ride.
If you want to, you can take the mic to share anything for 60 seconds. It's optional.
