EGT Open Mic sees musical performers challenge themselves to entertain the audience on the night. Held beachfront in bayside Elwood, this much-loved open mic has been running for many years. Whether a Paul Kelly wannabe, poet or the odd flamenco dancer, the evening’s uniqueness lies in the fact that you don’t have to be very good at what you do – it’s a great place to be supported as you try out that weird homegrown song or maybe get up in front of an audience for the very first time. As a free community event, people donate their time and resources to ensure EGT Open Mic continues to exist. WordSauce has done its bit by coining the tagline ‘a safe environment to f***k up in’, theming events, writing and producing monthly MailChimp EDMs and managing social media.
