In-One-Ear

I am here for Networking

About Me

Hosted by Pete Wolf, it is open to all those who wish to share their art in the presence of their enthusiastic peers.
The show was started in March of 1988 at the No Exit Cafe by Owner Sue Cozen and according to our records, was handed over to Michael O'Toole, it is the second longest running Open-Mic venue in Chicago history, having just celebrated its eighteenth anniversary. In March of 1998, Michael retired, and bequested the show to Chicago poet Pete Wolf. Pete moved the show to the Heartland Cafe and through his hard work and love for poetry, has more than doubled the average audience attendance. Pete has had many co-hosts as well as guest hosts. Current guest hosts include Karma 360 aka Billy Tuggle, Candyce and Rachel. Come and participate in our live poetry experience.
The In One Ear open mic every Wednesday night at 9:30 p.m.
