Poetry Olympics
Hosted by the hilarious Comedian Rob Love, the Poetry Olympics is an interactive poetry experience that will happen once every four years in honor of the Olympics. Each round will challenge the slam poets to dig deep, and the poet with the highest score at the end of each round, will earn $100 each round. Each round is every poet’s game to win. Eliminations for each round will take place based on the number of poets who enter the slam. Poets are invited from all over the globe. We will be giving our usual audience something fresh and dope. Grab a friend and meet us there or come solo and make some new friends. Get those advance tickets, today! The bar and kitchen will be open. The attire is sporty. Pull out those jerseys and sporty attire. The vibe will always be one of a kind.
