Mucky Duck Open Mic Night (Mondays)

McGonigel’s Mucky Duck presents the Mucky Duck Open Mic Night Mondays at 6:30 p.m. (sign up at 6 p.m.)

This little gem might be a bit easily overlooked in Houston’s typical bar scene, but that’s because it’s an entirely different kind of place. You’ll hear plenty of folk, country and acoustic renditions by performers that spent their afternoon in classes at Rice University or a long day at the office.

The Duck stage is open for you to present your original compositions or a favorite song made famous by someone else. Comedians, poets, jugglers and mimes also welcome. Each performer gets three songs or 15 minutes on stage.

Don’t be shy. Come on out — it’s your turn to be a Mucky Duck Open Mic star.
