Open Mic
Open Mic Nights in Mentone
Every Thursday, Cyan Bar & Lounge comes alive with Melbourne’s most welcoming Open Mic night. Musicians, singers, bands and comedians take the stage — and everyone’s invited to watch, cheer and be part of it.
FREE to perform. FREE to watch.
Who’s it for?
Complete beginners, music students, solo artists, duos, bands, drummers, instrumentalists, comedians and anyone who just loves live entertainment. All ages welcome to perform.
What to expect
- A full backline (Billy’s drum kit is set up and ready — just bring your instrument and your voice)
- A supportive, low-pressure room to try new songs or new material
- A genuine local music and comedy community, not just a stage
Thinking about booking a gig at Cyan?
Open Mic is the perfect way to meet the team, get a feel for the room, and give the crowd a sneak peek before your show.
Already booked in? Come play a few songs and build some hype before your night.
Don’t want to perform?
Come along anyway. Grab a drink, enjoy the show, and help create the atmosphere that makes performers want to come back.
When: Every Thursday
Where: Downstairs at Cyan Bar & Lounge, Mentone
Cost: Free entry, free to perform
We’re building one of Melbourne’s most welcoming comedy communities — right here at Cyan Bar & Lounge.
Whether you’re a total beginner or a seasoned pro, there’s a spot for you on our stage.
Fortnightly Comedy Nights
upstairs, featuring a full lineup of comedians. This is our showcase night: bigger crowd, bigger energy, dedicated comedy audience.
Weekly Open Mic
downstairs, every Thursday. A separate, more casual night where comedians can test new material alongside musicians and performers. Great for trying out fresh jokes in a low-pressure room.
Not sure which one’s right for you? Both are FREE to perform and FREE to watch — come check either one out, or both.
Want a spot? Get in touch or join our community group chat to request a slot for the fortnightly showcase or the weekly Open Mic.
Don’t want to perform? Come along anyway. Grab a drink, laugh loud, and help us build the room every comedian dreams of playing to.
