Working on something and need to get it in front of a crowd? Bring your tight five to us! Hosted by Chicago comedian Rogue Schmidt.
About this Event

Come see some of the city's finest artists test out material from shows that they are currently working on, at this work-in-progress open mic!

Doors at 6pm and sign ups kick off before our 45 minute mic begins at 7pm. Performers get up to five minutes to test out new jokes, read their latest draft, or sing out that newest bridge.

Hosted by Rogue Schmidt, stay after the open mic to catch them testing out 30 minutes of material for their sophomore solo show, Going Rogue: A Fat Dyke Comedy Special !

$5 cover at the door from 6-8pm. Anyone is welcome, not just performers! Entry does not guarentee an open mic slot. Hopeful performers are encouraged to arrive early.

RSVPs do not guarentee entry but serve as calendar reminders for our guests and anticipated volume of attendees for our staff. RSVPs are not required for entry.

Dorothy is 21+ and requires physical ID for all to enter. Dorothy is also ADA accessible with elevator access on Campbell Ave. If you are a guest who requires elevator access, please wait by the black door with our logo in the window and call our staff to assist: 773-770-3799
