How to have the BEST time at Mully's Karaoke

Written by Zoe Dahse, History & Spanish BA

Hey, I’m Zoe! I’m a 3^rd year student studying History with Spanish. Mully’s Karaoke was my first love at UCL – it’s one of my earliest memories of Freshers’ and an event I continuously go back to simply because it’s so fun. It’s held every Saturday night in Richard Mully’s basement bar, and serves as UCL’s resident underground micro-club. Good tunes and a good time with friends are (sometimes) all you need to let loose after a hectic week at uni. Even after three years I keep coming back to it.

Whether you’re a Saturday night regular or an occasional attendee, you’re guaranteed to have a good time.

Here’s a rundown of how to make the most of the night:

Get in the queue early-ish

Trust me on this one – sometimes you can find yourself queuing for a long long time, and autumnal nights in London can be chilly, so get there around 9:30/10. The night finishes at 1:30 so that gives you plenty of time to dance to your heart’s content.

The drinks are cheap

Get drunk (or don't) but there's a 3-4-2 offer on bottles and cans from 20:00 until close. Remember to bring both your student ID and some official ID (e.g. driving licence) to gain entry! And of course, alcohol is never a requirement to have a good time - so there's plenty of non-alcoholic drinks available too.

Get up there

Get over your fear of performing and GET UP THERE. You’re not going to regret it – but do be sure to choose a song everyone is familiar with (and you are too). There’s nothing worse than a crowd that’s not into it, or you looking at the screen after the verse because you’ve forgotten what’s next. Classic songs are always a safe option – such as… Don’t Stop Me Now, Queen.

Calling all Swifties

Let your hair down

Most importantly, have fun. Let your hair down. It’s what you’re there for! And come back the next week, if you can.
