OPEN MIC REVIEW
DAILY SLOTTED MICS (click mic name for a link to the sign up page)​
​
Daily slotted mics, the SoCal invention that transformed Open Mics into a viable business for comedians comfortable making $30K a year (most of you reading this are probably like, "that sounds pretty good!"). These are daily/hourly mics that you sign up for in advance, and pay for with cash or through Venmo. Why are they called "slotted mics" you ask? Because slotted mic pioneer Joe Manente (Fourth Wall) was the first to use the website slotted.co as a method for comics to sign up for his mics in advance. Ironically, Joe is the only "slotted mic" owner who no longer uses the site as he has moved Fourth Wall sign ups to his own fourthwallcomedy.com website.
