As New Zealand's largest city, Auckland anchors much of the country's live performance scene, and its open mics reflect that diversity and energy. Comedians, musicians, poets, and storytellers gather in bars, cafes, and small venues across the harbour city to share new work with friendly, curious crowds. The scene is supportive and accessible, making it a natural starting point for performers finding their voice as well as a place for experienced acts to keep sharp. With a multicultural population and a strong appetite for live entertainment, Auckland offers plenty of stage time. This regularly updated list gathers the latest details on sign-ups, costs, times, and venues to help you find the best open mics in Auckland.

Bring an instrument and some friends and have a jam, or we have karaoke style backings or other musicians to join with if you just want to sing.
There's always a guitar available and a couple of microphones for your act, and a mixer with lots of inputs the more friends/instruments you bring.
