Come one, come all to poetry tonight starting at 8 pm at Social Room, Central!

It’s a regular no-theme open mic, with Akin Jeje as your host! Step up to the stage if you’re feeling brave, and even if you don’t read a poem you can still be a great listener and contribute with your applause/get to know the poets during the break in between rounds (we say civilians)!

Don’t forget to buy a drink to support the venue and drinks are 2 for 1 until 9 pm! See you soon!
