Midweek Madness Open Mic
Our mid-week pick-me-up open mic, featuring screaming chicken!
It's mid-week, we need some LAUGHS to release some midweek madness!
Standup comedy in English, an uproarious evening filled with humor, pay what you want!
Who's on? Won't tell you. Who's hosting? Guess. Do screaming chicken play a part? Come and see!
This is our comedy gym — raw, unfiltered, wild and fun. Comedians try out new material, experiment with new ways to tell jokes, and occasionally find spectacular new ways to fail at jokes — while you sit there with a drink and decide what lands. Some of the best bits you'll ever see in Lisbon started as wobbly experiments on a Wednesday night at Midweek Madness.
Whether you've been in the comedy scene for years or just starting out, whether you want to watch or you want to try — this is the place. Locals, visitors, expats, digital nomads, people who just wandered in because they saw a light on — everyone's welcome. Come laugh and mingle and power through the rest of the work week with some actual joy in your system.
Want to perform? Apply online beforehand. We balance the lineup between seasoned comics and newcomers so the show stays fun for everyone.
