Open mic night at The Pig Hastings where aspiring performers, spoken word artists and budding comedians share their talent.
The Pig hosts another open mic night on Thursday 5 November, starting at 8:00 PM. It's an open-stage format, so the bill isn't set in advance — it's built on the night by whoever decides to get up and perform.
That's the thing about an open mic: you're seeing people at the start of their thing. You'll get aspiring performers, spoken word artists and budding comedians sharing raw, unpolished talent in an intimate setting. It's not a polished showcase; it's a room where people come to try out new material and get their first reactions in front of a live crowd. Because it's open to anyone, the night can swing from a song to a poem to a few jokes, and the order depends entirely on who signs up.
And that's where the open part comes in. Anyone in the room can take to the stage, so if you've got something you've been working on, you can step up and sing a song, read a poem or tell a joke yourself. Musical equipment is provided on the night, so you don't need to lug your own gear in if you're just turning up to play. It's as much for the people on stage as it is for the people watching.
