Austin Poetry Slam Presents The New Sh!t Slam

Hosted by Element 615

Ready for something raw? Join us at the Barrel O’ Fun inside Alamo Drafthouse Mueller for the New Sh!t Slam. This isn’t your polished, rehearsed-to-death performance. We’re demanding the newest, freshest work straight from the notebook (or the Notes app).

Whether you’re a seasoned slam vet or a first-timer with a story to tell, come witness the birth of new art in the heart of Austin.

• When: Wednesday, February 4, 2026
• Where: Barrel O’ Fun (Alamo Drafthouse Mueller) | 1911 Aldrich St. Austin, TX 78723
• Doors: 7:00 PM
• Showtime: Approximately 8:00 PM-ish. Look, we’re poets—linear time is a bourgeois construct and we’re just vibing in the eternal now. (But seriously, get there early for a good seat).

Don't let the Mueller parking maze stress you out. Parking is validated! Just make sure to scan the QR code at the door when you walk in so you don't get hit with a bill while you're busy snapping for your favorite poem.

The Rule: Keep it fresh. Keep it real. Leave the "old reliables" at home.

Know what’s Happening Next — before everyone else does.
