One room in Akron runs an open mic on its own listing: The Kill Box Comedy Club (Sundays, Thursdays and Fridays).

Every mic here links its room's own listing, the place to check a night before you go, and "Plan this night" builds the evening around it: dinner near the room, the trip there and the ride home after a late list.
