The Gold Coast is best known for its beaches and easygoing resort lifestyle, and that relaxed energy carries into its live entertainment scene. Open mics along the coast give comedians, musicians, poets, and storytellers a welcoming place to share new work, usually in laid back bars, cafes, and small venues near the surf. The crowds are friendly and up for a good night out, making it an inviting place to test material or perform for the first time. Its sunny, social culture lends itself naturally to live performance. This regularly updated list collects the latest information on sign-ups, costs, times, and venues to help you find the best open mics on the Gold Coast.
