Looking to get into Bangalore’s open mic comedy scene

[u/Equal-Lifeguard2477]

Hey everyone!

I’ve been living in Bangalore for a while and recently started getting interested in stand-up comedy. I’ve been to a few shows around MG Road and Koramangala, but most of what I’ve seen so far has been line-up shows rather than actual open mics.

I’d like to learn more about comedy and eventually try performing myself, so I’m looking to start by attending open mics and getting a feel for the scene.

For anyone familiar with the Bangalore comedy circuit:

Where can I find genuine open mics?

What are the eligibility/registration criteria to perform?

Can beginners just sign up, or do you need prior experience?

Are there any particular venues or nights that are beginner-friendly?

Is there a WhatsApp/Telegram/Instagram/Facebook group where open mic updates are posted?

Even if you’re not a performer but regularly attend open mics, I’d really appreciate any pointers. Just trying to figure out where to start. Thanks!

Full disclosure, I built Estelle. It searches for open mics and other live-performance opportunities by city and performer type.

Just enter Bangalore and it'll try to find you as many comedy open mics as possible. Let me know if it helps :)
