It’s about to get LOUD. It’s about to get WEIRD. And it’s all going down in 17 syllables or less.

Join us for an electric night of raw expression, hilarious showdowns, and poetic carnage at the Austin Poetry Slam Open Mic + Haiku Deathmatch — hosted by SC Says, one of the most dynamic voices in the scene!

🎤 The Open Mic

First come, first signed. Got something to say? Say it loud. Poets, storytellers, lyricists — the mic is yours.

⚔️ The Haiku Deathmatch

This is not your average poetry slam. This is cutthroat syllable combat.

Poets face off in lightning-fast rounds of 5-7-5 savagery, with the audience deciding who survives and who gets sliced. It’s absurd, it’s brilliant, and it’s Austin AF.

📝 Wanna compete in the Haiku Deathmatch?

This night will be wild. Don’t miss it.
