Genesis Poetry Slam - London’s only three-round slam
The friendliest poetry slam in town, and London’s only three-round poetry slam is back for another night of incredible poetry and community, for only £1! BARGAIN!
Join us on Thursday, 3rd of July upstairs at the Genesis Cinema in Stepney Green for your monthly dose of friendly competitive poetry slamming! Who will be next to join our 2025 grand final? AUDIENCE, YOU DECIDE!
Doors at 6:00pm for a 7:30pm start.
AUDIENCE MEMBERS:
Tickets are just £1 each. We often SELL OUT COMPLETELY so grab your ticket ahead of time! If you book a ticket but then can't make it, please contact Genesis Cinema to release your ticket.
We need 5 members of the audience to help out as judges. Come speak to the crew to find out more. Other than that: just grab a cocktail, a pie and a comfy sofa and watch poets battle it out for a chance to compete in our grand final in December!
POETS:
There are two ways to sign up for a slot (this is new, pay attention):
1. In the PRE SIGN-UP on Eventbrite https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/1427897914099?aff=oddtdtcreator
2. ON THE NIGHT
To book a PRE SIGN-UP slot, simply book your free ticket on our Eventbrite. These slots are limited, and are assigned on a first come, first served basis. Poets with a pre-sign up slot do not need to purchase tickets, your name will be on the door at the box office.
If you don’t get a pre-sign up slot, we always have a few ON THE NIGHT slots, for poets who want to try their luck. These are also first, come first served.
The slam is a 3 round slam, so please bring 3 poems just in case. Each poem should be 3 minutes or under.
Whether you come to share your poetry, or just to listen- we really are a very lucky bunch with friendly people and incredible poets!
You all make the space we hold as wonderful as it is - we really couldn’t do it without your words and your enthusiasm, which we want to match always! So bring all your good vibes our way and let’s continue 2025 in style!
