The M.I.C. 

I'm a co-founder of the NYC-based open mic community and showcase The MIC.

The MIC is a community of musicians, poets, comedians, dancers and other performers coming together to share and encourage each other at open mics throughout New York City. We originally started for the advertising, media, and film industry, but as we grew so did the interests and professions of those around us. We host a bi-monthly private showcase event called The MIC at the Sidewalk NY featuring members of the community creating a space to share talents, conversation and friendship. We welcome all instruments, dance, poetry, short stories or performance art. Even if you aren't a performer, we hope you will join us in supporting our peers and making some new friends! [Contact for More Info or Sign-Up to Perform: kathryn@themicnyc.com]
