12 contestants, 3 rounds, 1 winner, much kudos.
Tim King and Ysella Sims proudly host 12 of the finest poetic performers in the South West as they compete in the 11th instalment of this annual knock out competition.
In addition to the kudos and abundant opportunities for further paid gigs, there's a £100 prize for the winner alongside £50 and £20 for the two runners up.
The quality of each performance, together with the content and audience reaction, will be judged by our expert panel. Each of the judges will also be taking a turn at the mic, to show us how it's done.
The judges are:
Jonny Fluffypunk – not only a warm and wonderful human being but also the World's foremost exponent of the Sustainable Nihilist school of performance poetry.
Kimwei - poet, storyteller, musician, campaigner and Grand Bard of Exeter.
Harula Ladd - 2019 Exeter Slam! champion and rising star on the national spoken word scene.

Accessibility Statement: The Hall is situated on a Steep Cobbled Hill. This makes it very difficult, if not impossible for heavy motorised wheelchairs to enter the hall. We are in the process of manufacturing a bespoke ramp to provide continuous ramped access from the Stepcote Hill, but even that would require the user to be able to get far enough up Stepcote Hill to access the ramp. Once inside The Hall we have full disabled toilet facilities, shower and an evacuation plan. The main hall is all on one level. We will always provide assistance and adequate staff to anyone with any disability if you let us know ahead of any event that we manage.
