Portland has long celebrated its independent, do it yourself creative spirit, and that ethos runs straight through its live performance scene. Open mics across the city welcome comedians, musicians, poets, and storytellers into quirky bars, coffee shops, and arts spaces, where open minded crowds embrace original and offbeat work. The scene is famously supportive and a little weird in the best way, making it a great place to take creative risks or perform for the first time. A deep indie arts culture keeps audiences curious. This regularly updated list gathers the latest details on sign-ups, costs, times, and venues to help you find the best open mics in Portland.
