Open mic
Significado: A pub event where anyone can perform.
An open mic (microphone) night lets anyone sign up to perform—typically music, comedy, or poetry. It's how many performers start out. Pub open mics range from excellent to excruciating, but they're an important part of local music and comedy scenes.
