Open Mic Nights in Delhi NCR
24 events matching right now across Delhi NCR — mostly comedy (11), literature (9), nightlife (2), other (2). 1 is free.
Delhi NCR has open mics almost every night of the week, covering stand-up comedy, poetry and spoken word, music and storytelling, and the events below are refreshed daily. Most run in small comedy rooms, studios and cafés. Mic On Studio in Janakpuri runs comedy mics several times a day; The Social House in Hauz Khas Village hosts Khula Manch, an open mic for poets, storytellers, musicians and comics; and TOT Studio in Lajpat Nagar has hosted poetry and storytelling mics. Small rooms such as The Spotlight Studio in Amar Colony, Light Room in Hauz Khas Village and Highlane Comedy Club in Noida's Sector 18 run cheap line-up shows where newer comics try material, and Guftagu Cafe on Gurgaon's MG Road mixes shayari evenings with comedy nights. To watch, expect a small entry fee or a minimum order; to perform, register in advance through the organiser's form or Instagram, because slots are short, often around five minutes, and fill quickly. Comedy mics are where new comics test material, so quality varies, and that's part of the fun. Most are in Hindi, English or a mix. This page lists comedy, poetry, music and storytelling open mics across Delhi, Gurgaon and Noida.
