M/Others on the Mic
A relaxed and revolutionary performance space in Exeter with the mother of all line-ups.
Join Lizzy Humber and local m/others for a daytime open mic with songs, poetry, comedy and stories.
This is a relaxed and lively space for grown ups but children are welcome and supported to be themselves, no shhing required.
The artistic voices and stories of m/others are platformed, but everyone is welcome within the audience.
Expect an uplifting, supportive and empowering hour (and a bit) – in the middle of the day! So whether you’re in need of a bit of culture, a community or just an early lunch break – you are welcome!
If you would like to sign up for a 1-5 minute open mic slot please get in touch here: https://forms.gle/D7VPo9vjZaXoiM459
Performers will need to book a ticket.

The room is inclusive for children, there will be mats and toys for children of all ages to get comfy, but please bring snacks and toys for your children as they need.
