Since 2014, Say Owt have been hosting raucous poetry slams where performers get 3 mins to wow an audience. They’ve become the mainstay of the York community. Whether you love the written (and spoken) word or are just curious, this high energy event features a host of poets each with a unique style. Highly Commended in the York Culture Awards, this will be a mega night out of humour & heart, personal stories & politics. A true poetry party!

Featuring guest poet: Malaika Kegode, writer, performer and producer based in Bristol. Malaika has performed for the BBC at the Edinburgh Festival and worked with the Roundhouse, Historic England and Elstree Studios and supported Saul Williams. In 2018 she was included in the BME Power List, celebrating Bristol’s 100 most influential black & minority ethnic people. Malaika’s work tells of how we can find beauty and hope through the darkness. Her overall themes of family, mental health, addiction and love always have an undercurrent of optimism and strength. Her performance style has been described as “filmic” and “musical”.
