Calling all the rebels, misfits, and trailblazers! Step into the limelight and join us for an unforgettable evening of poetic enchantment at "Outcasts on the Mic" taking place at the uber cool basement of The Slaughtered Lamb- a hip pub located in the heart of Clerkenwell.
This event is dedicated to the back benchers, the so-called losers, the aliens, and the non-look- alikes, where we proudly wear our quirks as badges of honour.
A Home for the Diaspora:
If you belong to a diaspora, this is the place to be. If you've ever felt the longing for belonging, the joy of connecting with fellow diaspora souls, and the complexities of bridging two worlds, this event is your safe haven. We stand united in our diverse backgrounds, sharing our stories, and empowering one another through the power of poetry. By diaspora we mean you belong to a population dispersed from its place of origin and are living in another country- for e.g. an Asian in Europe.Our stage becomes a safe haven for self-expression, where your stories and emotions take center stage without judgment. So bring your tales of triumph, defiance, laughter, and even heartache – we'll hold each word with utmost care and respect. However, we’re not strict on this- if you ache to perform in a safe space, you’re welcomed. We don’t care what you look or sound like.
Some rules we live by:
🎤 We’ll bring you excellent features who deserve to be heard whether they’re currently popular or not, come and hear why they’re getting the center stage
🎤 Half of the night will be dedicated to a poetry open-mic. We don’t play with anybody’s luck- ever! So if you sign up at the event, you will get the chance to perform. We won’t be picking out names and calling them out at random. We want as many people who want to perform to be able to and we will let people know how many spots are available beforehand.
🎤 If you blow us away at the open-mic, we will come to you post the show to offer you a feature slot for our next event!
🎤 We eventually want to get to a place where we can pay our feature poets, so please do support our events by sharing and getting friends to come! Your ticket buys are what will fund our next events to come
🎤 If you’re entering our space, please be mature enough to know what content is offensive or sensitive. Give trigger warnings where necessary. Any kind of abuse, sexism, and racism will not be tolerated. Other than that, you’re free to perform!
Ticket purchase in advance. There may be books or marketing material shared available for purchase.
Doors open 6:30pm. Show begins 7:00 PM. Sign up early for open mic.
