Comedy Open Mics
Do you want to try stand-up comedy in Montreal? Whether it is your first time or you are a veteran looking to work out a few sets the CCC has setup a list of recommended open mics around Montreal. Unlike big metropolitan comedy hubs like NYC and Los Angeles you do not pay for a spot and there is no concept of bringer open mics in the city. Here is a list of all the show-up go-ups in Montreal. There are other open mics in Montreal, but they are not show-up go-ups.
3rd Floor Comedy Club
Experience what it is like to perform on an intimate comedy club stage at the 3rd Floor Comedy Club (2015 Crescent) every Sunday. Sign-up 8:30-9:15pm. Show-up go-up. Anybody can get on stage. Seek out the host that night (rotating). 3-5 minute sets depending on the volume of comedians performing that night. The 3rd Floor Comedy Club is also an affiliate of Canadian Comedy Cartel. Tickets for audience members are 5$ and are available here.
Hurleys Irish Pub
Every Monday at 10:30pm at 1245 Crescent the Dirty Open Mic at the World’s Smallest Comedy Show takes place. Sign-up is at 10:20pm show-up go-up. Anybody can try their luck. 3-5 minute sets depending on the volume of comics. Seek out Vance Michel. The World’s Smallest Comedy Night is also an affiliate of Canadian Comedy Cartel.

Burgundy Lion Open Mic
This is a half booked/half lotto open mic that takes place every Wednesday at the Burgundy Lion in Little Burgundy produced by the same beloved producer who brought us the Peel Pub open mic before the venue filed for insolvency. Sign-up for the bucket happens right before the 9pm start time.
Comedy on Mackay
The comedy on Mackay open mic is a show-up go-up where comics get drawn out of a bucket. The venue is N-Bar at 1245 Mackay in the middle of downtown Montreal. The open mic happens on the last Tuesday of the month and starts at 10:00pm after the 8:00 pro/am show. Great place for more clean cut/woke comics. Happens weekly on Tuesday. Whether you’re a first-timer or a seasoned pro, this open mic is the perfect place to test new material, connect with other comedians, and have a wild time.
Best set wins a spot on the pro/am show!
