The Lucky Duck Comedy Open Mic
Get ready for a night of laughs at Austin's longest-running comedy open mic! Every Wednesday, aspiring comedians and seasoned performers take the stage for an epic marathon of comedy that runs from sign-up at 6:00 PM all the way until 2:00 AM. This legendary open mic is a beloved staple of the Austin comedy scene, offering a welcoming space for beginners and veterans alike to test new material and hone their craft.
The format is wonderfully laid-back: sign-ups start at 6:00 PM with a lottery for the first 40 spots, then it's first-come, first-served after that. Each comedian gets a solid 4-minute set, and the show kicks off at 8:00 PM. Best of all, admission is completely free! Whether you're looking to catch some raw, unfiltered comedy or you're brave enough to grab the mic yourself, this is the perfect midweek pick-me-up.
The Lucky Duck provides a fun, supportive atmosphere where anything can happen on stage. With no cap on performers and an anything-goes vibe, you'll experience a diverse showcase of comedic styles and talents. It's the ideal spot to discover Austin's next comedy star or simply enjoy an evening of authentic, unscripted entertainment with friends.
