Open Mic Nights in Hyderabad

Open mics run almost every night in Hyderabad, and the events below list this week's comedy, poetry, storytelling and music nights, refreshed daily. Comedy has the most stage time. Heart Cup Coffee on Road No. 45 in Jubilee Hills is the home of the Hyderabadass Comedy Club, a collective that grew out of the city's open-mic circuit. The Comedy Theatre in Gachibowli runs open mics alongside trial shows by touring comics, Aaromale in Film Nagar hosts mics for comics, poets and musicians, and The Street Comedy Club lists regular shows and open mics with tickets from about ₹199. Poetry and storytelling nights move between cafés and cultural spaces; Lamakaan in Banjara Hills hosts mushairas and literary evenings, and Phoenix Arena in HITEC City has long been used for slam poetry. For musicians, Tabula Rasa's Sunday Playground is an open jam. Expect English, Hindi and Telugu, with Urdu and Dakhni at poetry nights. Audience tickets are cheap, and sometimes entry is free with an order. If you want to perform, spots are limited and usually booked through the organiser's form or social media a few days ahead.
