We ended up with just under 20 poets performing in the slam, plus two big sets from the entertaining Randall Stephens.

Top three poets were:

  1. CJ (with an amazing ‘party’ piece)
  2. Jacinta (aided by a chorus of uncooperative Greek nonnas)
  3. Andrew ‘Bad Slam’ Galan (on killing Care Bears or something)

And now for… Judge Judy judging a poetry slam. No it’s not what you think it is (how cool/bizarre/intimidating would that be?) but, rather, a warning to producers of all spoken word events that you make sure you pay your poets!

Next slam is Friday 30 October so be prepared for some sort of Halloween (eve) silliness. Probably.
