Loud Poets invites poets to share their work at our regular open mic, now taking place at the Scottish Storytelling Centre in the relaxed surroundings of the Storytelling Court. All styles of poetry are welcome and with a different feature performer every time, this event offers a supportive, creative environment for all.

The open mic is FREE and non-ticketed, but capacity is limited so get down early to guarantee a seat!

Doors will open at 6:30 pm for a 7 pm start with a twenty-minute interval at around 8 pm, wrapping up around 9.30 pm.

To sign up to perform, please fill out the sign-up form for the date on which you'd like to perform. This form will close one week before the event, after which we will email you to let you know if you have a guaranteed performance spot. Two spots are always left open to be filled by random draw from poets who sign up on the door. Slots are five minutes and poets are welcome to perform as many or few poems as you would like within that time. You are welcome to go under the five minutes, but please do not go over out of respect to your fellow performers.
