Auto-generated list of things in this category (view them on a map):

Term used particularly for performing poetry and acoustic nights, sometimes a more varied cabaret. Generally means performers turn up before the night starts, to get their name on a list so they can each do a 5 or 10 minute spot. I think in folk clubs it has been called a come-all-ye. Slightly different from floor spots, which performers usually have to arrange with the organiser in advance. In comedy clubs the equivalent is open spots, but they are arranged in advance – in fact 3-4 months ahead, except for 2 clubs by the river in SE London, where performers can just turn up early on the night.
