New York Comedy Club Stamford is launching Monday Night Mics, a brand-new series of open mic events designed to give local talent the spotlight they deserve.

Starting on November 11th, these weekly open mic nights are a chance to get up on stage, connect with an audience, and take your passion to the next level.

No matter what your talent is—comedy, music, poetry, or something else entirely—the Monday Night Mic is your platform. It’s a space where you can experiment with new material, make connections, and maybe even get discovered.

Everything You Need to Know

The Monday Night Mics will take place every Monday at 7:30 PM at the New York Comedy Club Stamford. What’s even more exciting is that each week has a different theme to keep things fresh. The first few events include:

Monday, November 11th: General Open Mic – Take the stage for five minutes and show what you’ve got! Whether you’re cracking jokes or sharing music, this is your moment.

Monday, November 18th: Music & Variety Mic – Not just for comics! This night welcomes music, poetry, and any kind of performance. It's the perfect time to share your unique talent.

Monday, November 25th: Comedy Jackpot Mic – The last Monday of the month is all about comedy. Performers get five minutes to shine, and the audience (along with NYCC judges) picks a winner. The prize? Half of the ticket sales, so it’s a great incentive to bring your A-game!

Audience tickets are free with just a 1-drink minimum, so it’s easy to come and support the local talent. Plus, performers can sign up in advance for a spot on stage.

The goal is simple: provide local artists with the space and encouragement to pursue their dreams. Whether you're testing out new material or just looking to have fun on stage, this is the perfect way to grow and connect with others who are on the same journey. So, if you’ve been thinking about making your dreams a reality—now’s your chance!

I was a standup comedian from 2009-2011 and then I went back for a year in 2015. It is one the scariest and most rewarding things I've ever done in my life. It also taught me an important lesson; you need to be in something for the right reasons.

I've been a fan of standup comedy my whole life and I used my time to try and make connections with the other comedians for my radio show. Keep in mind, that worked but I did not have real aspirations of jumping to the next level in comedy, maybe I should have. There are no half-measures in standup. It will be the hardest thing you will ever do but if you really love it, and manage to succeed, it will open doors that you never imagined it could.

P.S. Stamford's New York Comedy Club isn't just one of the best comedy venues in CT, it's one of the best in the country. I've not had the pleasure of going to a show there yet, but we've talked to many headliners who swear this place is as good as it gets.
