About the event:
20 years of Slam Free or Die! It's a lot to celebrate. So instead of doing the normal open mic and feature/slam, this show will have a special format. The night will feature a showcase of poets from across all 20 years of Slam Free or Die's history and a shortened open mic, with sign-ups open exclusively to new and first time readers. The showcase will include specially selected poets who have helped define what Slam Free or Die was and would become returning to the mic for a retrospective of two decades of amazing writing and performance!
