Best No-Talent-Required Karaoke
Karaoke Night at the Attic
Promises of no-pressure karaoke nights are usually false, with even
the divey-est, most out-of-the way places sporting their fair share of
divas. Not so at the Attic's karaoke night, which happens the third
Monday of every month. The complete lack of flair ensures that every
flaw in every squeaky voice will be laid bare for the jovial, drunken
audience members, who do not care how poorly you sing. There is no
stage provided; performers read lyrics from a screen set up on a bar
table in a makeshift arena that consists of a couple of booths. What
singers lack in talent, they often make up for by leaping from one
booth to another or, even better, lying on one while humping the air
and ecstatically singing Blondie hits. Always wanted to belt out the
Cure's "Lovesong" sans embarrassment and quite possibly to much
cheering? This is the place.
