Monday is the busiest night, with 8 rooms running a mic; Friday has none on the listings. How the rooms take comics, in their own words: 4 take a list on the night, 3 take sign-ups online or by email and 2 draw names from a bucket. Each room's exact way in is under "How to get on" below. Elsewhere in Texas: [Austin](https://disciplesofcomedy.com/open-mics-austin-tx.html) (36 a week), [Dallas](https://disciplesofcomedy.com/open-mics-dallas-tx.html) (13 a week, 2 more some weeks), [Fort Worth](https://disciplesofcomedy.com/open-mics-fort-worth-tx.html) (10 a week), [Denton](https://disciplesofcomedy.com/open-mics-denton-tx.html) (3 a week), [Carrollton](https://disciplesofcomedy.com/open-mics-carrollton-tx.html) (2 a week) and [Plano](https://disciplesofcomedy.com/open-mics-plano-tx.html) (1 a week, 1 more some weeks).
