College Night Open Mic | Brookland | 5th Fridays| Hosted by Malachi Byrd

College Night Open Mic! A Busboys and Poetry Event Every 2nd Friday of the month. For two hours audiences can expect a diverse chorus of college students voices and a vast array of spoken word performers, open mic rookies, musicians, comedians and other talents from freshmen to graduate students.

Each month, we feature a different college/university or an individual alumni artist. A great alternative to the college nightlife!

Host: MALACHI BYRD

You won’t get five minutes into a conversation with Malachi Byrd, without hearing about Washington, D.C. An author, teacher, songwriter, and arts advocate from the district, Malachi believes superpowers exist in creative writing. An African-American Studies graduate from Princeton University, MalPractice gets his name from his commitment to mastering his crafts, and staying ready so he never has to get ready. If you follow performing arts in D.C., you’ve probably seen Practice rapping, laughing, and hugging everyone in the room. He often asks, art is made of healing properties, so why not use them?
