BAD!SLAM!NO!BISCUIT! 730pm, 20 June @ The Phoenix


The June 2012 BAD!SLAM!NO!BISCUIT! poster

BAD!SLAM!NO!BISCUIT! is your poetry slam in June.

And that means bring your words, your crimes against poetry, your rants, your intent to coagulate on stage, your witticisms, your HERE I AM JUDGE ME BECAUSE I DON'T CARE FOR YOUR JUDGING, all for prizes, all for poetry, all for their poetry, ALL FOR YOUR POETRY!

Because we give you a stage, 2 minutes, The Master of Conflict, an audience, poets, MCs, poetry, The Score Adder, and words on stage behind two microphones.

ALL FOR POETRY

And all so you can cheer, heckle, wave your arms and shout from stage or from somewhere else in the Phoenix.

For prizes

And this month we also bring you TWO feature acts, TWO, which is not unusual at all.

One is a feature act of poetry.

He flew all the way to Sydney from somewhere in the United Kingdom just so he can hitch-hike/catch a bus/walk or fly to Canberra for BAD!SLAM!NO!BISCUIT!. He is

Captain of the Rant

And we bring to you

The Brass Knuckle Brass Band

Who come all the way from multiple suburbs in Canberra, all to be our BAD!SLAM!NO!BISCUIT! feature act and house band for the evening.

So remember, your poetry, 2 minutes, no props, no music, original material, join us at the Phoenix for BAD!SLAM!NO!BISCUIT! and prizes.
