Inverness Fringe

Get ready to drop the mic

Inverness Fringe presents a Poetry Slam-Off - a night of live verse, timed rounds and a room that scores as it goes. Hosted by Hamish MacDonald, former Scottish Slam Poetry Champion and World Slam runner-up, this is the Highlands heat where poets go head-to-head for a place in the Scottish Nationals.

Bring your best three minutes. Bring a poem that lands. The audience decides who walks out as Inverness Fringe Fish Van Slam-Off Champion.

Expect sharp punchlines, quiet knockouts, and a final that feels like a title fight in a small room. Come to compete. Come to cheer. Come to judge!
