BAD!SLAM!NO!BISCUIT!
IS THE POETRY SLAM THAT GIVES YOU A STAGE, A MICROPHONE, AND TWO MINUTES WITH
NO MUSIC NO PROPS AND YOUR ORIGINAL MATERIAL FOR FIRST PRIZES.
Yes,
that’s right, THE POETRY SLAM, and BAD!SLAM!NO!BISCUIT! wants you! It wants you
to give it your words, your arm waving, your pointing finger masses yearning to
be free. Free from the bonds of your hips and knees, free of your mouth, free
of having to wash the dishes after dinner and take out the garbage!
And for
this special February event of BAD!SLAM!NO!BISCUIT! we bring you the feature
act Shahed Sharify, the visual odyssey Max Sees Max, and the launch of Jeff
Buckley’s Hallelujah Double A Side.
This is
what Shahed Sharify had to say for himself when asked for his 100 word bio!
‘BAD!SLAM!NO!BISCUIT!
is proud to present 3 time AVO violator, Shahed Sharify. Shahed is well known
to Federal Police as a petty criminal and local vagrant. Having graduated High
School in 2015, he celebrated his 35th birthday by drunkenly trying to call
Barack Obama, but he got the number wrong and reached the organiser of
BAD!SLAM!NO!BISCUIT! who thought he was hilarious. Shahed is a regular at
comedy festivals around the country, and has performed amongst other comedians
such James from Weetangera and Tim ‘the human weasel’ Hussein. You will
definitely laugh.’
This is
what Max Barkers says on the website of his project Max Sees Max:
‘My name
is Max. Everything else should be pretty self explanatory.’
And from
the creative team behind Jeff Buckley’s Hallelujah Double A Side we have this
artistic statement:
‘The
result of a musical pact/challenge, each original song is about (and named
after) JEFF BUCKLEY'S HALLELUJAH. Two original songs named after a cover. Maybe
not the cover version you need, but the one you deserve.’
So join
BAD!SLAM!NO!BISCUIT!, The Master of Conflict, The Score Adder, The Sacrificial
Poet and all the feature acts in the Phoenix Pub for BAD!SLAM!NO!BISCUIT!!
BRING
YOUR WORDS, BRING YOU, BRING YOUR FAVOURITE PET.
And
remember 2 minutes, no music, no props, your original material- unless you’re a
rebel rule-breaker for whom rules mean nothing.
