About this Event

Join us twice a month for fist-thumping, pint-drinking, side-tickling, award-winning poetry!

On the second and last Monday of every month, Loud Poets welcomes poets to share their work at the Canons' Gait for our open mic. We've had poets from ages 8 - 80 join us to share their poetry, and we welcome all styles of poetry (even if it's not very loud!). With a different feature performer every time, this event offers a welcoming and supportive environment for all.

Doors open at 6:30pm for a 7:00 start. The event has a roughly 15 minute interval about one hour in. It wraps up around 9.30pm.

Please note that this event is free and unticketed. Seating is first come, first served. As this event tends to fill up quickly, we recommend that you arrive early (doors 6.30pm) to ensure a seat.

To sign up to perform, please go to linktr.ee/iamloudpro and fill out the sign up form for the date on which you'd like to perform. Our advance sign-up form willl close one week before the event, after which we will email you to let you know if you have a guaranteed performance spot. We always leave two spots open, and these spots will be filled by random draw from poets who sign up on the door.

Performance slots are five minutes. Poets are welcome to perform as many or few poems as you would like within that time. You are welcome to go under the five minutes, but please do not go over, out of respect to your fellow performers.

At our open mic and all of our events, we endeavour to create a safe, welcoming space for all to attend and share their work. We ask performers to be respectful of the diversity of our experiences. We do not tolerate racism, sexism, transphobia, xenophobia, ableism, and other forms of discrimination and harassment. Don't punch down. Performers and attendees who violate this policy will be asked to leave.

Access information: The event takes place in the downstairs room of the Canons' Gait, so unfortunately it is not wheelchair accessible. We apologise for any inconvenience caused. There is a single step up to the stage. There is a microphone on stage and we require performers to use it. If you have any questions about accessibility, please contact [email protected] and we will do our best to accomodate you.

The Loud Poets Open Mic is organised by I Am Loud CIC. It is produced and hosted by Mark Gallie.
