A Spoonful of Poison started in 2005 at the Rhythm Factory in Whitechapel and has gained an almost legendary reputation as one of the best open-mic nights in the known universe.

Spoonful left the RF on December 15th 2008...

On Monday 19th January, 2009 we relaunched at:

The Legion, 348 Old Street, Shoreditch, London EC1V 9NQ

Entry is FREE and the sign-up list opens at 7pm.

Musical spots are 7mins, spoken word 5mins.

Although our only discriminatary criteria is "NO F**KING COVERS !" we do tend to prefer alternative/leftfield/up-beat/odd/funny/ experimental performance, but this can be in any form : music, poetry, comedy or any random slapstick behaviour capable of entertaining the troops.

IF YOU ARE A BAND LOOKING FOR A GIG :

you might be better off looking at our sister night ODD WEDNESDAY, a quality alternative new bands showcase night...

Please bear in mind A SPOONFUL OF POISON is a fairly low-key (though anarchic) affair - we can accomodate minimal percussion but we heavily discourage full drumkits ! Hi-hats and snare are just about feasible...

Feel free to bring your beats and backing tracks on CD to rap, sing, rant over...

Every week we have special guests and the following DJs on rotation :

every 1st mon: DJ CALL-CENTA
every 2nd & 4th mon: BB METS
every 3rd mon: LAZYBOY LEWIS

THE PHANTOM SKATER has left the building...

those who have also served:
SNEAKY "Purple Pie" PETE
MADAME X
PSEUDOPHILE
