Since 2013, Poetry Jam has opened its doors every first Thursday of the month, and has grown in love, attendance and adoration ever since. It’s a monthly open mic platform to jam, perform and click with a community of creatives.
The event hosts poets who are starting out, seasoned veterans, and everyone else with a story to tell.
It’s a non-genre specific open mic night where pieces can cover love, to comedy, very personal topics, and more – we don’t audit or alter the artistic work, so be prepared and be aware that sensitive topics and explicit words may be used.
