Don’t miss the next show from Scotland’s premiere spoken word night!
For over ten years, Loud Poets has been showcasing the best spoken word poetry from Scotland and beyond. Expect fist-thumping, heart-wrenching, side-tickling poetry performances with live musical accompaniment.
Our May 1 showcase features 2022-24 Birmingham Poet Laureate Jasmine Gardosi, Loudcast host and 2023 Loud Poets Grand Slam Champion RJ Hunter, author of Poyums and host of BBC Scotland's Arts Mix Len Pennie, and an Open Mic.
Interested in performing?
We'll have six open mic slots that you can sign up for on the door. If you have any queries or access requirements regarding potentially participating in the open mic, please email the team at [email protected].
“Loud Poets is tearing up the landscape, bringing the ancient art to contemporary audiences – spreading mirth, giggles and talent along the way.” - Corr Blimey
“Go listen to Loud Poets and hear them say the things you’ve been trying to say yourself.” - Shane Koyczan
“There’s a humour, poignancy and most of all confidence which serves to inspire.” - Scotsman
