Ruckus Slam

Overview

If you've always dreamed of being the next regular on Saturday Night Live, but just didn't know the best avenue to get there, we hold the answer. New Globe Theatre's Ruckus Slam shines the perfect spotlight on all those eager to hit the comedy, poetry or spoken word scene — and you don't need a history of fringe festival shows and Paddo gigs to take a shot.

Here's the deal: you've got two minutes to stand up on stage and show off what you've got, be it a story, poem, comedy routine or rant at Mike Baird. Don't try and go over the two and a half minute mark, because you'll be yanked of stage with a shepherd's crook.

It's a competition, so if you're good enough, you might just be crowned champ. Sign up is at 7pm, the Slam kIckes off at 7.30pm, and entry is $10, regardless if you're speaking or not. Numbers are limited, so it's a matter of first in, best dressed.
