The Lyrical Underground

• We want to establish TLU as a powerful arena for focusing our art and learning about others. To ensure that this happens, we need to maintain an environment of respect for others. Hate rhetoric for any group of people is strictly forbidden.
• We want to establish TLU as a place for all levels of artistic development, welcoming novices to veteran performance artists. Heckling comes with the territory, but unwarranted harassment interferes with our event and will be addressed. Also if you heckle, be prepared to up to the mic to speak!
• As artists, we understand that content should not be compromised by context. However, we are sensitive to the needs of the venue hosting us and therefore at their request insist that performers withhold explicit language in the presence of children whenever they are present.
• Drinks are half-off for all performers on the list.
• There are typically 12-15 slots to fill a night.
• Each slot can run up to ten minutes maximum.
• Many nights have an opening act that runs twenty minutes. If you are interested in opening for The Lyrical Underground, send email to James Dilworth.
• Many nights have a theme such as "Love Night" or "Awards Show Night." Participation in the theme is always voluntary.
• We have a simple monthly email list to keep regulars up-to-date on TLU happenings. Write to James to get on it.
