Monthly Autism Open Mic Event at Chute Bar
The Monthly Autism Open Mic Event is a welcoming space designed specifically for autistic performers and audience members to enjoy live entertainment without the overwhelming sensory demands of typical venues. Taking place on Tuesday 30 June 2026 at 7pm, this inclusive night celebrates neurodivergent talent across Manchester and creates a judgment-free environment where performers aged 16 and over can share poetry, music, comedy, or spoken word. It's a brilliant opportunity to discover fresh local voices while being part of a supportive community.
Chute Bar is a well-loved independent venue in Manchester's vibrant entertainment scene, known for hosting diverse events that genuinely care about accessibility and inclusivity. The venue's intimate setting makes it perfect for open mic nights, offering an atmosphere that feels personal rather than intimidating. It's tucked within easy reach of Manchester's city centre, making it accessible for performers and audiences across Greater Manchester.
Getting to the event is straightforward via public transport, and Chute Bar's team are experienced in creating autism-friendly environments with sensory considerations in mind. Whether you're a performer keen to take the mic or simply want to enjoy some authentic live entertainment, arriving early gives you time to settle in and soak up the welcoming vibe. Sign-ups for performers typically happen on the night, though it's worth arriving with time to spare.
