open mic nights EVERY WEDNESDAY

These are the nights we are most looking forward to: where the unexpected and the spontaneous happens – we as organisers don’t know, not the host of the evening and not you, the audience.

The Wednesday nights are the open stage nights in Mezrab. It means that anyone is welcome to tell, purely on a first come first serve basis.

If you are ready for a story, of if you want to try new material, or if it’s your first time, send a message to openstage@mezrab.nl to reserve a spot.

We also leave two spots for the spontaneous.
