One Man Stand Up Comedy Slam Poetry Supershow
Can one comedian rescue slam poetry by completely undermining it?
For years, poetry has been taken over by serious, pretentious, overly-caffeinated art wankers.
Now, one of Australia’s masters of combining 2 concepts in one show (In Pour Taste: A Comedy Wine Tasting Experience, The Late Nite PowerPoint Comedy Showcase), delivers his most ridiculous experiment yet.
Part standup comedy hour. Part slam poetry evening. All devastatingly funny.
The show has only 1 rule: the audience isn’t allowed to be bored. And Sweeney intends to pull out every trick in the book (legal and otherwise) to make sure of it.
Roses are red
Violets are blue
This show's dumb as hell
