About this Event

Missing Soul is still going, on its sixth edition!

This is the place you come to practise your drafted new poems, comedy sketches, stand up routines, songs, and more!

Don't be nervous, the audience are primed to be the most supportive & friendly!

Come on down in May for a special series of featured performers followed by an Open Mic. Performers to be revealed closer to the event.

A night of music, poetry and comedy in the heart of Oxford!

The Missing Soul Series is ongoing. We’re returning with even more energy, even more community spirit, and even more space for emerging voices to shine. If you’ve been waiting for the next instalment, this is your sign to grab a ticket and come soak up the magic.

In May, we’ll gather once again at the beautiful Curio Bookshop in Oxford, a cosy venue filled with character, creativity and people who genuinely love the arts. Missing Soul is a space where amateur artists can test new material on a live audience and where the crowd is warm, supportive and ready to discover something new.

Every Missing Soul night features three to four handpicked artists followed by an open mic that always surprises us in the best way. Music, spoken word, poetry, comedy. If it moves you or makes you think, it belongs here.


What to Expect
  • A feel good, intimate event centred around creativity and connection
  • Four featured performers showcasing new or unreleased work
  • An audience open mic that welcomes every level of experience
  • A chance to meet like-minded people from Oxford and beyond
  • A relaxed and uplifting atmosphere where everyone is part of the night

Whether you're performing or cheering from the crowd, Missing Soul is about being present, being open and celebrating authenticity.
