Austin Poetry Slam Presents The $100 Slam

Austin Poetry Slam is bringing the heat with The $100 Slam, and you already know it’s about to be a wild night! Hosted by the one and only Christopher Michael, this isn’t just a poetry slam, it’s a full-on vibe.

📅 Wednesday, October 22
📍 Alamo Drafthouse Mueller inside the Barrel O’ Fun
1911 Aldrich St, Austin, TX 78723

Here’s how it goes down: Poets bring their sharpest, rawest, funniest, or most soul-shaking words to the mic. The audience? That’s where you come in. You can sign up to slam, jump in as a judge, or just sit back with a drink in your hand and let the night unfold. Every round is fast-paced, unpredictable, and packed with energy.

💸 Cash on the line
1st Place: $50
2nd Place: $30
3rd Place: $20

Why you should roll through:
The Barrel O’ Fun is the perfect spot, bright, quirky, and made for big laughs and louder applause.
A full bar and food menu means you can pair tacos or wings with your poetry fix.
Garage parking is validated, so no stress.
Most importantly, the Austin poetry scene is built on community. Every slam is a space where voices are lifted, stories are shared, and the crowd’s love fuels the performers. Whether you’re brand new or a regular, you’ll feel the welcome as soon as you walk in.
