Open mic has a reputation it mostly earned, and the fix turns out to be a clock. Three minutes is short enough that nobody can meander into a bit that is not working, which forces everyone on stage to arrive with the strongest thing they have and leave before it curdles. The result is a format where a genuinely bad set lasts less time than it takes to get a drink. Nights like this are the actual pipeline - the people doing three minutes here are the ones headlining in four years, and you will have watched them figure it out. Twenty-one and over, which changes the room; the material gets braver after nine. Half six on Friday on University Avenue. Every scene worth anything has a night like this running somewhere, usually on a weeknight in a room nobody photographs, and it is almost always the best twelve dollars in town.
