From the article: Open Mic Nights in New York City
If you want to, you can go to open mic every single night of the week in New York. Trust me, I've done it. It's a great way to keep yourself in tip-top performer shape, which is necessary when you're competing for that 11:30 PM half-hour slot on a Wednesday night.

Catweazle Club comes to NYC, Thursdays
- Britain's most intimate performance space has come to the Lower East Side. Catweazle is a completely acoustic open performance night--anyone can sign up to perform music, poetry, or anything else. What makes it unique is that there's a featured set by one or two great performers each session. There are no microphones--it's all acoustic. And it's connected to Catweazle in London and Oxford, UK, so if you do well, you automatically have a foot in the door internationally (most performances are filmed, highlights go online). Also, the audience actually listens because the acts are quality and the whole thing is only 2 or 2 1/2 hours long. All this goes down in the funky apartment gallery of the poet Steve Cannon. The list fills up fast, so arrive by 7:30. Performers get in free! Everyone else pays a small cover, and there are good drinks for around $2. Catweazle Takes placealternate Thursdays at Tribes Gallery: Apr. 15, 2010, Apr 29, May 13, May 27, etc etc. Address is: A Gathering
