 ....

That’ right folks we’re kicking off the new season this coming Tuesday August 25^th. We’ve moved the Slams to the 4^th Tuesday as so not to conflict with other events at Kieran’s Irish pub and to be able to get the shows started on time more easily.

Here’s so more info on your September 8^th feature poets Lindsay Miller & Doc Luben currently out on their Small Shark Tour

 ....

"We're gonna need a bigger boat.  Or the same size boat, and a smaller shark."

 ....

A Smaller Shark is a poetry duo consisting of Lindsay Miller and Doc Luben, two of the hottest writers to come out of southern Arizona in recent memory.  They have years of stage experience as slam poets, actors, and singers.  Between the two of them they've performed all over the Southwest and won more Tucson slams than everyone else put together, including three years' worth of City Championships.  With diverse artistic backgrounds and very similar hairstyles, they draw on everything from the Bible and Shakespeare to Origin of Species and science fiction for their performances.  They've appeared in classrooms, coffee shops and theaters, opened for the Vagina Monologues, and represented Tucson at every national slam in the past year.  They're funny, smart, thought-provoking, inspiring--basically, they're everything you're looking for in a lover.  Except tall.  They're not tall.

 ....

Come check them out on Sept 8^th!

 ....
