Founded by Pandora Scooter and Stephen in 2002, OUT OF THE BOX OPEN MIC has been making space for people of all backgrounds to share their self-expressions in front of a supportive and enthusiastic audience.
In March 2020, we had to move the open mic to Zoom, and then, in 2025, Out Of The Box moved to PHILADELPHIA, hosted by The ZanyThing. OOTB continues to provide a venue for performers of all types to share their wares.
