Open Mic & Comedy Nights in Goa

Goa has no permanent comedy club, so open mics and stand-up move between cafés, bars and auditoriums, and this page is the quickest way to see where they are this week. Touring comedians play the big halls: Ravindra Bhavan in Margao has Vir Das on 21 November 2026 and Rahul Subramanian on 30 January 2027, and a Panaji banquet hall hosts Shamik Chakrabarti on 21 November. Smaller shows turn up in restaurants and bars, with recent listings at a bistro in Calangute, a café in Chicalim and Zooky's in Chapora, where the Goan Comedy Cartel runs late-night shows in English, Konkani and Hinglish. Music is the stronger open-stage tradition here. Arambol's beach-road cafés run jam sessions and open mics through the season, Artjuna in Anjuna has karaoke and live nights, and bars in Assagao and Siolim book local bands. For writers, The Dogears Bookshop in Margao hosts a regular meet-up called Scribblers Anonymous. We could not confirm a fixed weekly comedy open mic for the 2026–27 season, since organisers announce dates on Instagram a week or two ahead. Check each listing for the language, the age limit and whether performers need to register.
