The People Poetry - Open Mic Night

The People Poetry - Open Mic Night at The B Side Liquor Lounge

Some of the best nights have no headliner at all. The People Poetry open mic night gives that curiosity a Cleveland home at The B Side Liquor Lounge on Wednesday, November 25.

There is room for discovery in an open-mic event. You do not need to follow one headline performer to have a reason to attend. If you already follow spoken word, the microphone provides the familiar focus: an individual voice addressing the people who have come to listen. The format makes the act of listening part of the outing, with your interest directed toward what each person chooses to share.

For people drawn to spoken word, the attraction begins with the voice itself: hearing someone choose the words, shape a phrase and put a piece of work before listeners. You can pay attention to the delivery as well as the writing. A small lounge setting keeps the audience close to whoever is on the mic. A weeknight laugh is a smart way to break up the routine. Bring a notebook and an open mind. Pick your date, round up your people and make a plan. A live event gives you the atmosphere that a screen cannot copy.
