Fun Intended Punslam Wordplay Competition and Comedy Show

Phrase Against the Machine - Wordplay Slam -Where the words win and the prizes are questionable.

Join us for a night of silly, scrappy, and uproariously clever competition where players go head-to-head in games of wit and word wizardry. Bring your best puns, twisted turns of phrase, and acronym hot takes—audience participation is highly encouraged (but not required).

🏆 Winners walk away with truly questionable prizes—aka quirky treasures from the host’s house that spark joy... or at least spark confusion.

🌈 Queer joy, community building, and unpredictable fun are the heart of this show.

🎤 Hosted by Forest Ember of Forest Emberprises, bringing you comedy with connection and chaos.Featuring local and traveling comedians!

This is a playground for literary offenders, acronymphos, Grammarchists, and punthusiasts alike.
