Fruit Salad: a monthly queer open mic night!

Fruit Salad is Dorothy's monthly queer open mic night! Hosted by Rainn and co-produced by Whitney LaMora, this open mic night gives ten performers the chance to share their work in front of our supportive & gorgeous group of attendees before we hand it over to our feature performer of the night.

Our open mic sign up is based on a lottery system! Attendees will get a link immediately after purchasing a ticket to sign up for the open mic until Sunday August 13th. Five open mic slots are reserved for BIPOC performers and the other five slots are open for all submissions.

Our open mic list will be announced via our Instagram @fruitsaladchicago.

After our open mic for the evening, we welcome our featured for the month - Danny Lang!

Danny Lang (he/they) has been doing stand up for 9 years and has only been pretty for 5 of them. He regularly performs around Chicago and coproduces a weekly show, Sinister Six, Sunday nights at the Lincoln Lodge. @iamdannylang

Entry is $15 [tickets limited to 2 per purchase] and proceeds are shared with the performers, the production team, our home base Dorothy and our giveback partner for this month chosen by Danny: Environmental Defense Fund.

Environmental Defense Fund is a global nonprofit organization tackling climate change - the greatest challenge of our time. Their bold, game-changing solutions put people at the center of all they do - focusing on stabilizing the climate, strengthening people and nature's ability to thrive and to support people's health.

Doors for the evening open at 6:45pm and our show starts at 7:30pm. Performers should arrive by 7:15pm at the latest and check in with our host to be guaranteed their slot. Our feature follows after intermission.

Dorothy is 21+ and requires a physical ID for entry. Dorothy is also ADA accessible. If you are a guest who requires elevator access, please stop by Split-Rail when you arrive or speak to our security person for assistance.
