Event Description:
| Tickets go on sale Sept. 1 It's back! After a year away, the 12th annual ILL LIST Invitational Poetry Slam—the most prestigious and highly anticipated spoken word event in California—returns! Featuring a fresh line-up of renowned spoken word artists, national and international slam poetry award recipients, many having appeared on HBO's Def Poetry Jam, Verses & Flow, NPR’s Snap Judgment, and elsewhere in the media, The ILL LIST is an entertaining and inspiring night of poetry, which has sold out every year! (So don't wait to get tickets!) Who will become the next slam champion? Through three rounds of original spoken word poetry, witness poets match metaphors and battle rhyme for rhyme in their quest for $1,500 in cash prizes and the right to be crowned “ILL LIST Champion.” Randomly selected judges from the audience will award points to poets based on the strength of their poems and the quality of their performance. Cheering, yelling, booing, hissing, whistling, and good-natured heckling are welcome and expected during this world-class literary boxing match. Come be inspired! (This is a Free Speech event.) Doors at 6:30; show at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $20, $27.50, $35, and $50 |
