In its running and organisation One Mic Stand-up is fairly typical of Auckland open mic comedy nights:

• We pre-book comedians. This is done through a Google Form but we will also accept bookings through our Facebook group.
• The call for a cast is normally posted 6 days before show time.

We differ from other open mics in:

• We allow comedians to specify their own set length, within reason.
• We allow sign-ups from the floor, time permitting.

Code of Conduct:

We have not developed our own code of conduct as we believe that there should be a single code of conduct used by all comedy shows in New Zealand. The New Zealand Comedy Guild Incorporated has developed a code that we fully endorse. It can be found here (pdf). 

We expect everyone involved with our shows, including ourselves, to abide by this code.
