The prestigious Roundhouse Poetry Slam Final is back as we call on the best in emerging spoken word to compete for a cash prize and the coveted title of Slam Champion.
The Roundhouse Poetry Slam is one of our most anticipated events, first hitting the stage in 2006 and becoming the heart of The Last Word Festival in 2013.
Having made it through six national heats, the most exciting voices in spoken word will put their original work to the test and our esteemed panel of judges will crown one poet Roundhouse Slam champion. The judges for this year's Slam Poetry Final are gal-dem founder and 'Rosewater' author, Liv Little, T.S. Eliot Prize Winner Roger Robinson and Rachel Long, one of the UK's most acclaimed poets and the founder of Octavia Poetry Collective for Women of Colour. This event will also be hosted by award-winning playwright and poet, Toby Campion.
You can watch the live stream direct from the Roundhouse, cheer our finalists on from your sofa and still participate in the vote for audience favourite.
