The Montavilla Mic

The Montavilla Mic is a weekly comedy open mic that takes place every Tuesday at Montavilla Station. It is currently hosted by local comedian Lucas Copp. I have taken over the music duties from our original D.J., Dee Newton AKA D.J. Zay. When Lucas started this mic, he said he wanted to feel like more than a mic, he said he wanted it to feel like an event. He originally asked for only one poster, but I pitched to him, let me design you a new one every week for a year. I needed the Photoshop practice and it was a fun challenge. The first Montavilla Mic took place on Tuesday, October 24th 2022. We had about 20 comedians sign up and it was a pretty fun night. Everyone did well. The next week, we had over 40 comics sign up and from there the number kept increasing. For the first 30 posters, I included every comic who performed at the previous week’s mic. I brought it back for the 1 year anniversary poster. We’re not just another mic. We have two gimmick nights that are very successful. The first was created by Lucas. It’s called “Roast the Hosts”. Where comedians roast Lucas and a guest co-host in an attempt to earn an extra minute of stage time. However, if their roast bombs, they lose a minute of stage time. It’s completely optional. The other popular theme was created by me, “Tag Team Tuesday“. This is where comedians team up and put on a duo act and compete for a chance at $200 and picture with our gorgeous customized tag team belts. This section will be updated constantly updated with new posters.
