17. Poetry Idol
Poetry Idol has been so popular in recent years, we’ve moved it to a bigger venue. Still, be prepared to queue out the door or camp overnight to get a seat. A night of feverish lyricism, hallucinatory language and astounding nouns and adjectives, and that’s just from the judges: American Poetry Slam Empress Sonya Renee, our own Glenn Colquhoun, and the irrepressible Iggy McGovern from Ireland.

MC: the inimitable Penny Ashton.
