There is a full bar serving drinks, as well as snacks on offer to keep you energised throughout the night. The sound system at The Attic Comedy Club is top-notch, with mics available for every act to use. This ensures even the audience members right at the back can hear every joke perfectly.

The seating area is also well arranged so that no one feels left out while they laugh along to the comedy acts. With all these facilities provided by the organiser, it's easy to see why Southampton's Open Mic Comedy Night has become such a popular event!

So please come along to support and/or perform.

Tickets are £6 in advance or £10 at the door, with all of the proceeds from advanced sales equally split between the headline act, the MC and the individual comedy act that brings along the most supporters. 

We more than welcome audience participation, support and feedback too! Please don't forget; Southampton’s leading and unique "open mic" comedy night for stand-up comedians is the first Thursday of the month; every month.

It's proving a fantastic opportunity for new and fresh virgin comedians to perform alongside some very established headline acts, and for those more experienced to test out their new material. And all within a fun, friendly and inviting atmosphere. We very much look forward to it this month!
