Los Angeles Open Mic List

Astronaut City is proud to be part of the Los Angeles creative community, with strong relationships across local venues and talent. Astronaut City is woman, minority, and artist-owned.

Astronaut City is scheduled to open Summer 2025. It will offer weekly open mics, which include:

*Tuesday Night Mythos Mic hosted by Hayden Wideman, every Tuesday, doors open 7pm, Show starts 8pm

*Astronaut Club Open Mic hosted by Teresa Lo, a weekly standup open mic for Astronaut Club members, with a vibe that is supportive for comedians of all levels. To join the Astronaut Club, please sign up here. At the moment, before the venue’s grand opening, Founders Memberships are being offered for those who want to join the club at the ground up and receive lifetime membership.

While we will host weekly open mics, we've also curated a list of open mics around Los Angeles county that are fun, welcoming, and committed to safety. There may be numerous open mics in town, but Astronaut City will only list spaces that do not tolerate violence or harassment and spaces that are comfortable for women, minorities, LGBTQ,, and non-creeps.

The Los Angeles mics listed below are mostly standup mics unless otherwise noted.
