# Event Details - **Event Name**: Holy Moly at the Gravesham Fringe: Vogon Poetry Slam! - **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 07 Jun, 2026 at 07:00 pm – Sun, 07 Jun, 2026 at 09:00 pm - **Event Description**: Read the worst possible poem and win a cash prize and trophy!About this EventAs part of the 2026 Gravesham Fringe, Holy Moly are running a Vogon Poetry Slam. What's that, then? Well, the Vogons were an alien race in the novel/radio series/film The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, and their main claim to fame was that they wrote extremely bad poetry.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VogonThis inspired poets around the world to run poetry competitions in which the aim was to write or perform the worst possible work. We are now bringing this delightful tradition to Gravesend.The event will run from 7-9pm on Sunday June 7th at our usual home, The Mole Hole, Gravesend High Street. Entry is free, and you can sign up to read your awful poem on the day. If you would like to support us, you can buy an optional ticket below.Cask ales and gins | The Mole Hole Micro Pub | Gravesend KentFirst prize is £50 cash, courtesy of Gravesham Fringe, and a delightful trophy that will not look anything like the one pictured above.The RulesContestants will have a maximum of two minutes, including any introductory preamble. We limit time to avoid unnecessary psychic injury. You will be gonged off if you exceed this.No -isms and no -phobias. For example, sexist poems are extra bad because they're sexist, but we don't want that kind of badness! Be more creative, please. You may be ideologically repugnant if you wish - perhaps a sonnet on the loveliness of Reform - but not at the expense of minority groups. We are here to have fun (though hopefully we will not actually be enjoying ourselves).The winner will be chosen by an obtuse and unreliable process, probably involving the audience.Using ChatGPT will almost certainly make your poetry worse, so from one point of view we encourage it. On the other hand, we would prefer the human touch so evident in true dross.Read more about the Gravesham Fringe here:Gravesham Fringe Festival | Creative GraveshamFollow Holy Moly on social media:https://facebook.com/holymolypoetryhttps://instagram.com/holymolypoetryhttps://bsky.app/profile/holymolypoetry.bsky.social...and our kind hosts, The Mole Hole Micro Pub:https://facebook.com/moleholepubhttps://instagram.com/moleholepub - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/gravesend/holy-moly-at-the-gravesham-fringe-vogon-poetry-slam/100001988753445090 - **Event Categories**: art, literary-art, sports, festivals, entertainment, contests - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 2 hours - Location: The Mole Hole Micro Pub - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: Gravesend - **state**: EN - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: The Mole Hole Micro Pub - **lat**: 51.4439747 - **long**: 0.3695398 - **full address**: The Mole Hole Micro Pub, 17 High Street, Gravesend, United Kingdom ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Holy Moly at the Gravesham Fringe: Vogon Poetry Slam! - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/0a1ace3a99c8e8ef63f651ac3172731e157a761bed0e230438ea33a710fbae6b-rimg-w1200-h600-dc010101-gmir.jpg?v=1777988795 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Holy Moly at the Gravesham Fringe: Vogon Poetry Slam! being held? - **A:** Holy Moly at the Gravesham Fringe: Vogon Poetry Slam! takes place on Sun, 07 Jun, 2026 at 07:00 pm to Sun, 07 Jun, 2026 at 09:00 pm at The Mole Hole Micro Pub, 17 High Street, Gravesend, United Kingdom. - **Q**: Who is organizing Holy Moly at the Gravesham Fringe: Vogon Poetry Slam!? - **A:** Holy Moly at the Gravesham Fringe: Vogon Poetry Slam! is organized by Zack Davies. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
