Performance

Brooklyn Poetry Slam | October 6, 2026

1 upcoming performance in New York

Brooklyn Poetry Slam returns to BRIC with a rotating lineup of spoken‑word artists, staged this time as a comedy-forward night. Each performer works in short sets where punchlines and pacing carry as much weight as image and metaphor, and the room’s response becomes part of the rhythm. In New York City, slam has long served as a public forum for new voices, from neighborhood venues to major institutions. The most telling detail is the discipline: jokes land because the language is built to hold them.
