About

Nine poets will compete to be crowned the winner! A fun, vibrant and eclectic event of spoken word slam, plus sets from featured artists Aish Humphreys and Jay Mac!

Aish is a poet, host and collage maker living in Bristol. He was a host at Satellite of Love from 2022-2026 and has hosted the Queer Poetry Special as part of Lyra Festival since 2024.

They are currently making work about the trans, disabled & mad experience, through words & visuals. His first poetry pamphlet, Saints of Golden Hour was released in February 2023 which explores soberness, girlhood, queer relationships and the gods we create for ourselves. They have also been published by T'art Press.

Jay Mac's poetry is a love letter to niche internet subculture, reclaiming identity as a trans man, and straight edge punk; doing so like he's authoring an early 2000s emo LiveJournal post. He hopes you enjoy, because he won't remember what he says on stage!

7pm doors (and sign up to slam), 7.30pm event starts.
