Music. Comedy. Spoken Word. All are welcome!
Every week, some of the best established and emerging artists join us for a night of music, comedy, poetry- and whatever else shows up!Whether you're here to perform or just to take in the art of the Chippewa Valley, it's a great place to meet new people and see new performances. We can't wait to see you!
IMPORTANT DETAILS:
-Each musician gets two songs. Each poet or comedian gets five minutes of stage time. If you have a different type of performance, just talk to our host and we can figure it out.
-Slots do tend to fill quickly. If it's your first time, we will do everything we can to squeez you in.
-This is always subject to change, but this is usually the structure: Music and poetry first \(7pm-8:20pm\), with a short set break, followed by comedy \(8:40pm-10pm\)
-The Plus is both a full service bar and restaurant, and has five different performances spaces inside. We almost always use the main room for open mic. If you arrive and don't see a sign up list at 6pm, just ask one of our staff members. They will direct you where to go.
-The sign up list goes out at 6pm. There are 8 slots for musicians/poets, 16 slots for comedians. First come, first serve. Just come to stage when your name is called. Typically we do music and poetry first, take a short break, then start the comedy portion.
-The Plus is meant to be a listening room. Feel free to talk at your tables, but we ask that attention be on the performers. The bar lounge or patio are great spots for conversation rather than our main room if you're looking to talk above a low tone.
-The Plus provides three microphones, mic stands, music stands, stools, chairs, three 1/4" cables, xlrs, and a 1/8" input for a computer/device to play tracks. You can plug in instrument cables or XLR cords into the sound board. Bring anything else you may need for your performance
