October Open Mic Night

Leaves are blowing in the streets, students are returning to the city, and open mic nights have started up again. Autumn is definitely here. And we have a special guest this month at the Creative Cafe and Write Now Open Mic Night, Robert Pimm will be joining us. Pimm has written the nerve wracking thriller Blood Summit and sharing selections from the book and answering audience audience questions.

Hidden Identities
For the October 18, 2018 edition of our get together, and in honour of our special guest, the theme is Hidden Identities. We will be looking forward to hearing your stories, songs, poems, stand up comedy, and other creative enterprises in which failed caped crusaders are sharing their memories with aspiring sidekicks, an assassin who is also a noble from a neighbouring country is operating clandestinely in the court of Maria Theresa, or a teenager sneaks into a bar using a false identification card. This is not an inclusive list, we wanted to give you a few examples to get you started on your way!

The Details
We meet in the basement of Cafe Korb. To cover the cost of the venue, as this is a collective effort, we ask you to contribute €5 to €10. Performances start around 19:00, and run for approximately two and a half hours. However, if you are interested in performing 18:45 is when sign up starts.

Creative endeavours featuring the theme Hidden Identities will be given preference in the performance order.

As this is a joint endeavour between Creative Cafe and Write Now Vienna we have a number of performers. We ask that you stick to these rough time guidelines so many people get a chance to participate.

Bring your stories, songs, comedic acts, novel excerpts, poetry, and whatever else can be written on paper and join us for a fun filled and supportive evening. We hope to see you there.
