Open Mic Poetry Night

Hosted by Owen O'Neil

ICC Open Mic Poetry Night is back every month for more fantastical poetic musings.

Join host Owen O’Neill for a literary feast of poetic proportions, provided by the host themselves and anyone who wishes to share their writing.

This event is open to all ages and all levels of writers and performers, so whether you are just starting out or you can pen a sonnet Shakespeare himself would envy, this is the night for you! No matter the form, theme or rhyme scheme we want to hear your words.

There is also no pressure to perform. All attendees who wish to read will give their name to a host and will be drawn out of the proverbial hat at random. If you simply wish to come and spectate, you are most welcome.

Sign Ups will be on the door and at a first come, first served basis. We always try our best to accommodate everyone and make sure that all keen poets get their time on the floor.

 

Wed 19 July - Wed 21 February 2024

7:30pm
