Show Me What You Got presents…
The Artist Lab
If you’re an artist looking for real stage experience, honest feedback, and community that actually helps you grow, 1st Thursdays just became your new anchor point.
On Thursday, February 5th, Dizzy the Host uses over 30 years of experience to present The Artist Lab. We’re launching a monthly creative showcase + development experience designed for artists who are ready to stop waiting and start being seen.
This isn’t just another open mic.
This is real guidance for those who are really ready!
What Is Show Me What You Got?
Show Me What You Got is a live talent showcase built to spotlight raw, emerging, and undiscovered artists across music, comedy, spoken word, and performance.
The focus is simple:
Give artists a real stage
Put them in front of a real audience
Create real momentum
No gimmicks. No gatekeeping. Just talent meeting opportunity.

It’s a creative development space focused on:
