The Anti-Slam returns to Oxford for its fourth glorious year. Contrary to a conventional slam, where the poet with the best poem and most authentic performance is judged the winner, the Anti-Slam crowns the worst poet with the lowest score as its champion. We've challenged Oxford's finest performance poets to be hilariously terrible in this ultimate celebration of failure and disaster. Expect clanking metaphors, rhymes straining at the seams, vomit-inducing imagery. Poetry so bad, it transcend quality and becomes genius. Also featuring blatantly biased judging, irrational score-keeping and mob rule, which will somehow be corralled by Tina ?Calamity' Sederholm, Dan 'Disaster' Simpson and Paula 'Catastrophe' Varjack. Prepare yourself for the antithesis of all things gentle or highbrow; poetry, yes, but not as you know-etry.
