About this Event
👾🛸🎲 AUSTIN POETRY SLAM PRESENTS: NERD SLAM 🎮📚⚔️
Hosted by Mr. Dave, Nerd Slam is a celebration of fandoms, hyper-fixations, useless trivia, deep lore, and the beautiful chaos of being way too passionate about something.
Whether your personality is built around anime, horror movies, Magic: The Gathering, Star Wars, coding, Doctor Who, D&D, video games, comic books, obscure history facts, or a niche internet rabbit hole, this is the slam for you!
Come perform. Come judge. Come watch people passionately explain fictional universes through poetry.
