Recurring monthly on the 4th Friday through August 28.

A Busboys and Poets in-house series. LIVE! from Busboys is an open mic for all performers—musicians, comedians, dancers, actors, magicians, and more. Sign-up opens at 9pm.

Hosted by Malachi “MalPractice” Byrd — author, teacher, songwriter, and D.C. arts advocate. A Princeton African-American Studies graduate, Malachi believes in the power of creative writing and practices his craft tirelessly. If you follow D.C. performing arts, you’ve seen him rapping, laughing, and connecting with the community. He asks: if art heals, why not use it?
