About this Event

Welcome to Drafted! The Poetry Slam!

Come and see 10 poets at the top of their game duke it out for place in the Scottish National Championships, and a paid feature at our next show. It's a war of words with everything to fight for!


The Rules:

All Poets compete in the first two round in a randomly drawn order. The three highest scorers go on to compete in the final round.

Each poet has a 3 minute time limit. Go over, and you will be heckled by a rubber chicken. Also points will be deducted.
There will be 3 judges; a member of the events team, our featured performer, and one guest judge.
Slammers get free entry and a free drink. Signup for the draw with the following link: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1juKCQ-tr4dqXxsU8qQ1wnk95v1kjjEltA6OJJpt_wc8/edit


Featuring a full length set from master poet Sol Vardi!


Tickets are £5.
