Petty Slam - A Poetry Competition celebrating the little revenges in life

The Petty Slam is a three-round poetry slam. Judged by you, it's audience!

Poets performing at our May event are:

Kevin Ahn Kwang Soo Groen

Hunter S Johnson

Bard Wildly

jarral boyd

Wszebor

L’aDios

Turbo

Doors at 1900

Show starts exactly at 1930

In each round competitors will face off with their pettiest stories (bad landlords, people who cycle on the footpath, the housemate who eats everyones food) and their lust for revenge.

Why are we doing it? See in 2020 our host was evicted illegally in the middle of a pandemic, and the person withheld half of the kaution. Now we are fighting pack with poetry showcases. That's what I call petty!

This event will be part of a series that will continue until the kaution is replaced.

Petty Slam English-hosted but anything can happen on our stage. Our performers come from Berlin, Europe and outside of Europe (can you imagine? Wow!)

The only thing you can be sure of is there will be no "punching down" Our event is a platform for little revenges that are fun and playful. Petty Slam is not a space for hate speech, racism, sex work phobia, or bigotry of any kind.

Walk the line of common decency and buy yourself a ticket to this ludicrous and exciting spoken word performance showcase with some of the best in the city!

See you there!
