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 Showcase Mic hosted by Stanko Zovak, every Tuesday, doors open 7p, mic starts 8p

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.
