Following a fierce debut in London last year, THE GLAM SLAM returned to the Royal Vauxhall Tavern in 2009 for another successful installment!

A poetry SLAM comptetion in two rounds: a first round with 4 Competing Categories, followed by a second round on the night with a Grand Final an a cash prize! Also: non-competitive OPEN MIC slots, special guest performers and DJs. Hosted by Ernesto Sarezale.

Things people are saying about Glam Slam 2009:

"It was an interesting night...some madness, some interesting performances, some special words, some bizarre sentences, the brilliant drag king and lots of good vibes. "

"What an amazing show U put together. What a fantastic collection of talent! And freaks! It had so much color & energy - the "no props" rule in slams has got to go! WE NEED PROPS! What a tremendous honor to be part of it."

"Well done on a great night! Who'd have thought slams could be so entertaining?"

"Thanks to Ernesto for organising and hosting a great evening of words, performance, dress up and general randomness"

"The best slam in London."
