Austin Poetry Slam Open Mic and Haiku Deathmatch

Austin Poetry Slam presents
🎤 Open Mic and Haiku Deathmatch 🎤
Hosted by the one and only Mr. Dave

It’s poetry night, Austin — and not your quiet, finger-snapping kind. This one’s got punchlines, plot twists, and possibly some light haiku violence.

Join us at Alamo Drafthouse Mueller inside the Barrel O’ Fun for an evening of words, wit, and way too much competitive energy over 17 syllables.

🎤 Open Mic:
Step up and spill your soul, your jokes, your heartbreak, or that one poem you wrote at 3 AM and swore you’d never read out loud. Sign up happens at the door, so come early and grab your spot.

📝 Haiku Deathmatch:
Poets face off in the most dramatic 5-7-5 showdown you’ve ever witnessed. Three lines. No mercy. Eternal bragging rights. Sign up online if you dare.
