Best of Poetry Slam

Word Wizards on the Big Stage

At a poetry slam, talented young literati compete against each other on stage with their own texts – the audience selects a winner at the end. Offering the most frequent number of slam events in the country, Hamburg has been the powerhouse of poetry slams for some time now: there are big and small slams, some are elegant and classic, others pensive and prosaic, but always terrific. Germany’s best poets compete at »Best of Poetry Slam«, while Jason Bartsch hosts the event.

Please note: This event replaces the cancelled event from 1 May 2021. Tickets purchased for the cancelled concert are also valid for this event.
