Dayton Poetry Slam Presents: The Anti-Slam

  • Yellow Cab Tavern Yellow Cab Tavern Next show 11/20 Anti-Slam (map)

You may be asking yourself, what in the world is an Anti-Slam? Well folks, it will be a showcase for all those poems written as an angsty teen that we never thought we’d read in public. Bad goth poetry. Winnie the Pooh sex poems. Ode’s to Breakfast Cereal. Sonnets about Limp Bizkit. Limericks about Vienna Sausages. Poems written on cocktail napkins at rubber chicken dinners! Basically, intentionally bad poetry! The lower the score, the closer you are to making it to the final round.

We will also have an open mic before the slam, and possibly after the slam if time allows. Come out and join us for a night of absolute CRINGE! We’re looking forward to hearing your worst.
