The Bermuda Entertainment Union has launched a bid to drum up new members with an open mic event.

Participants will perform stand-up comedy, song, spoken word, instrumental music and dance at the Leopards Club on Friday, from 7pm to 9.30pm.

People will also be able to give their views on the future of the entertainment industry and members of the executive will be available for one-on-one conversations. A spokesman said: “We are also looking for new talent who are interested in unionism and are interested in forging a new direction for entertainment in Bermuda by running for office.”
