THURSDAY FEBRUARY 14th @ the spill
The Slam in January was such a roaring success, we've decided to celebrate. With the help of the Trent Queer Collective, we'll be bringing you a very special round of the Peterborough Poetry Slam at The Spill! Poetry, sex, heartbreak, hilarity and a dance party for a monumental Valentine's shindig.
Twelve poets sign up for the first round of the evening. Six poets will move onto the second round, and there will be a final round of the judge's favourite three poets of the night.
Points will be given for turning the judges on and breaking their hearts. Bring your three sexiest and/or most heartwrenching poems.
Following the slam, Kay Pettigrew and DJ WHO to dance the night away!
Included in the deal: appearances of your favourite judge of the year, local heartthrob judges and other very special guests.
Sign-up at 7:30. Show at 8. Show up early to get in and find a seat! PWYC.
