Weekly open mic comedy night held every Tuesday at Saturn's Sports Bar on North High Street.
Saturn's Sports Bar is hosting Open Mic Comedy on Tuesday, October 20, from 6 PM to 8 PM. It's a standard open mic, which means the stage is open to anyone who wants to get up and do a few minutes of stand-up. If you've been thinking about trying it, this is as straightforward a place to start as you'll find.
That's the thing about an open mic: there's no headliner or set list to look at beforehand. You're getting a mix of people—some who have been doing this for years and use the night to work out new bits, and some who are stepping up to a microphone for the first time. The new material is usually the most interesting part, because you're hearing jokes in their rawest form, before they've been polished for a proper show. It's a bit of a gamble, too; some sets land and some don't, and that's just part of the experience. If you're a comic, it's a chance to see what works in front of a real room. If you're just there to watch, you get to see the process happen in real time.

Saturn's is at 1288 North High Street in Columbus, and the venue lists the open mic every Tuesday from 7 PM to 9 PM, though this particular session runs from 6 PM to 8 PM. It's a sports bar, so you can grab a drink and a seat and just hang out. If you want to perform, you'll want to get there early to get your name on the list. If you're just coming for the comedy, arriving around the start time gives you the best chance of catching the whole run.
