   CHATTERBOX COMEDY NIGHT

   Chatterbox Open Mic

   Covina • Event

   You’ve gotta check out the Chatterbox Open Mic! This event is back and going strong for 13 years, offering a unique experience that feels more like a show than your typical open mic. With real audience members and a lively party atmosphere, it promises a fantastic time. Each performer gets a 3-minute set, but if we have a lot of comics, it may drop to 2 minutes in the second half. The order is determined by a lottery drawing, with special preference given to women and non-binary performers to ensure a diverse lineup. If you’re a fan of Kill Tony, this is definitely the show for you! Plus, it’s completely free to attend! Hosted by the dynamic duo Michelle Tobbi and Josh Plantenga, this is an event you won’t want to miss.
