Open mic at Accidental Theatre with a full backline of instruments & mics. For performers or audiences interested in diverse & experimental music & jamming. All performers get a video recording of their set!
Performers, buy one ‘Performer Ticket’ per act.
Everyone else, buy an ‘Audience Ticket’!
If you’re a solo act, just buy a single Performer Ticket and you’re set. If you’re an act with more than one person, buy one Performer Ticket and as many extra Audience Tickets as you need to cover all your performers (so a trio needs 1 Performer Ticket and 2 Audience Tickets, for example).
Most performers find they have 10-12mins of actual performance time as slots are normally 15mins long total, including set-up and take-down time. If there are a lot of sign-ups in a given month, slots may be shorter and we may have to forgo the jam!

Scalpel-sharp comedy. Zero fat.
Doctor-turned-comedian Mustafa Saed delivers smart, incisive stand-up that dissects modern life with clinical precision. Blending razor-sharp observations with his medical background, his comedy is intelligent, relatable, and unapologetically funny.

This Autumn, Hollow Reed are proud to launch our inaugural New Writing Celebration, ‘Whispers from the Reed’. A project that exists with the sole purpose of assisting local writers to have their work realized and performed.
From a strong field of 40+ submissions by emerging writers and creatives across Belfast and Northern Ireland, our panel of local theatre-makers has selected four outstanding plays for production. These works will bridge the gap between a rehearsed reading and a fully realised show — staged on a tight budget yet elevated by the talent and creativity of a dedicated team of artists.

Memoir Writing – Active Arts
Finding your voice, telling your story: Introduction to Memoir
This course will give you an opportunity to explore the range of possibilities in writing your life. Over four weeks, we will explore the different styles, formats and frames to help you find the perfect voice for your story. This is a generative workshop, so participants will have an opportunity to produce work in class, read excerpts from a range of memoirs, and share work and ideas with fellow writers. In addition to the writing they produce, all participants will leave with a basic plan for their Memoir. This is a class for everyone. No writing experience is necessary, and participants do not need to have an idea for a story.
Held in the Book Bar at Accidental Theatre from 2pm to 4pm - We’ll see you there!

Facilitator - John D’Arcy
This practical training course introduces you to the creative and technical foundations of immersive audio recording and post-production for the contexts of 180 and 360 video production. Designed for artists, producers, filmmakers, and digital storytellers, the course balances hands-on experimentation with critical reflection, supporting learners to confidently plan, capture, and evaluate immersive audio content. Across three structured sessions, participants will move from core concepts and tools through real-world spatial sound recording and post-production mixing, concluding with a reflective review that consolidates learning and supports future development.

An hour of comedy that should have stayed inside thoughts.
Bunny Martinez and Neave Wright bring their respective works in progress to the Accidental stage. The two blend absurd silliness, dry cynicism, and jokes with questionable morals. Rough around the edges, delightfully unpolished, and almost certainly in poor taste.
