Weekly stand-up comedy open mic with five new five-minute acts at Pentahotel Reading.
Mates Rates Comedy Raw is back at Pentahotel Reading on Monday 23 November, part of its regular Monday night run. It's run by Mates Rates Comedy, who describe it as Reading's number one stand-up comedy open mic and a new comedy open mic for the city.
The whole thing is built around the open mic itself: every Monday five new acts take the stage, each with a five-minute walk-on spot. Those spots are allocated by bucket pull, with sign-ups happening between 6:30pm and 7pm, so the room shows how stand-up comedy is actually made and gives you a chance to catch a star of the future. The show is also a regular on the circuit, with its resident comedian appearing at mid-size venues across the UK.

It runs from 7:30pm to 9:30pm, with doors opening at 7pm, and costs £3 on the door. An event wristband gets you 15% off drinks, so it's a cheap one to drop into on a Monday night. You'll find it at Pentahotel Reading, Oxford Rd, Reading RG1 7RH.
