NYC Open Mic Joint @ Nuyorican Poets Café
Presented by
The first Tuesday night of every month, Mike Geffner Presents The Inspired Word and the famed Nuyorican Poets Café in Manhattan’s East Village join forces to present the NYC Open Mic Joint, hosted by former Nuyorican Slam Master Nathan P.
*****
The Inspired Word’s NYC Open Mic Joint marks the long-awaited return of Nuyorican Poets Café legend Nathan P. as host, instantly separating it from any other open mic in the Big Apple.
Known back in the day with great reverence as the Slam Master, as well as the dappiest dresser in spoken word, Nathan P. hosted the Wednesday and Friday night slams at the Nuyo from 2000 to 2007, introducing audiences to the likes of such up-and-comers as Oveous Maximus and Carlos Andrés Gómez.
Now, coming out of hosting retirement but still with his funky cool fedoras, sharp-looking pinstriped suits, and one-of-a-kind cufflinks, he brings a special class and style to a special kind of open mic. As Nathan P. will tell you before every show, “The Open Mic Joint isn’t your father’s open mic. Noooooooooo. Trust me, it’s not like any other open mic you’ve ever seen before.”
And once you experience it for a single night, you’ll see for yourself. Be forewarned: The vibe is totally addictive.
Founded by award-winning sports journalist and former Village Voice columnist Mike Geffner, The Inspired Word is one of the hottest open mic series in the country - graced by the likes of Grammy nominated singers, HBO Def Poetry stars, American Idol finalists, Golden Globe Award-winning actresses, Obie Award-winning playwrights, and poets from The Best American Poetry anthology.
It’s open to all types of artists - comedians, musicians, storytellers, singers, poets, fiction/nonfiction writers, playwrights, spoken word artists, performance artists, dancers, ANYTHING and EVERYTHING.
So, if you’re looking for a cool downtown spot to do your thing, this is definitely the place.
All you have to do is bring the talent, we’ll bring the rest.
25 slots, 5-minute time limit.
