Finally someone is doing an open mike night in San Pedro, I have been wanting one for years [since Playa Lounge days]. I got as far as getting Capt Jeff agreeing to MC if he was here and that is as far as it ever went - well done Roadkill Bar for making it happen. Joke night got it's official start last week and I can see this becoming a popular thing for those who are wondering what to do in San Pedro Beli ...
