$10 - $15 sliding scale
Tickets can be bought in advance at Van Slam events (such as the Youth Slam on April 28th).
The 1st, 3rd, and 5th Monday of every month is the Van Slam, a regular poetry slam open to everyone (read more about the rules)
The 2nd Monday of every month is the Alt Slam, a themed poetry night
The 4th Monday of every month is the Youth Slam, for competitors between the ages of 13-22 (but for audiences of all ages!)
8 poets have survived and advanced from our grueling semi-final bouts. They are: Zaccheus Jackson, Richard Lett, Sean McGarragle, Faust McKenzie, Al Madar, RadaR, Scuffmouth, and Spillious the Ridiculous One.
The competition will consists of a round of 3 minute poems, then a 1 minute round, and then another 3 minute round. The poets with the top four cumulative scores will comprise the Vancouver Poetry Slam Team, and will represent Vancouver at festivals across Canada and the U.S.
Our feature will be Toronto’s Dwayne Morgan. Dwayne is celebrating his 15th year as a professional poet and touring with his new book.
