ALTER EGO: Poetry & Soul Open Mic Night
Where Your Other Self Takes the Stage.
What happens when the version of you that lives behind the scenes finally gets the microphone?
Welcome to ALTER EGO: Poetry & Soul Open Mic Night—an intimate live arts experience where poets, authors, singers, musicians and storytellers come together for a night of unapologetic creative expression.
Hosted and curated by Journee BLu, cohost SAN Goodee, ALTER EGO is POWERED BY LIVE MUSIC, giving artists the opportunity to bring their work to life alongside the energy of a live band.
Whether your alter ego writes poetry after midnight, sings Neo-Soul in the shower, has pages of an unpublished book waiting to be heard, or has a sound the world hasn’t met yet—there’s room for you on this stage.
Expect an eclectic night of Spoken Word • Poetry • Authors & Readings • Alternative R&B • Neo-Soul • Jazz • Afrobeats • Soul + more.
And you don’t have to perform to belong here. Come grab a drink, order some food, discover Cleveland-area talent, meet other creatives and experience an atmosphere built for music, words, expression and connection.

PERFORMERS
Your government name doesn’t have to be the name that touches the microphone.
At ALTER EGO, artists are encouraged to perform under the name that represents their creativity—their stage name, pen name, artistic persona… their ALTER EGO.
Performances are limited to 5 minutes, so bring us your best!
Come as yourself.
Come as somebody else.
Just come ready to express.
WHO ARE YOU WHEN THE MIC TURNS ON? 🎙️
Write a piece inspired by this prompt—or bring something you’ve been wanting to share, something you’ve been working on, or even something you’ve shared here and there.
This is your stage.
