Open mic nights in Sarasota
Open mic nights change quickly, but Sarasota has a useful weekly rhythm: Monday at Sahib Shrine, Thursday at Big Top Brewing, Thursday at Tamiami Tap, and a first-Thursday storytelling/music/poetry night at Flobucha. Each one has a different feel, so choose by room first.

Performer notes
Arrive early when sign-ups are first-come, bring only the gear the venue allows, and check whether the night is music-only or open to poetry, comedy, and storytelling. For listeners, Thursday is the best night to sample more than one open mic.
