Bay Area UNIFIED Slam Team Finals featuring world champion beatbox
BUTTERSCOTCH, with comedian Josef Anolin and DJ Yaddos hosted by Jamie
DeWolf!
The Lakeside Theater at Kaiser Center, Oakland, CA
Poetry fans and Fam - This year, for the first time ever, The
Berkeley, Oakland, San Franisco, and San Jose Poetry Slams are joining
forces to send one UNIFIED team to the 23rd Annual National Poetry
Slam! On FRIDAY May 11th YOU will choose the FOUR poets that make up
this earth shattering squad. Nine of the Bay's best and brightest
performance poets will battle it out over three rounds of
scintillating competition interspersed with fabulous musical feature
BUTTERSCOTCH and the hilarious comedian Josef Anolin.
That's right, we're thrilled to bring you not only the Bays top poetic
talent but world class Beatbox / Vocalist / Pianist BUTTERSCOTCH! You
might have seen her as a finalist on NBC's America's Got Talent or
heard about her winning one of her many championships or seen her
sharing stages with the likes of Stevie Wonder,Wyclef Jean, Earth,
Wind & Fire, KRS ONE or countless other musical legends. We're
thrilled to bring her unique talents to our finals stage and, believe
us, you are in for a treat.
We'll also have a special spotlight set from the always funny Josef
Anolin. Josef, an Oakland native, likes to tell jokes that offer
audiences fresh perspectives on "hot button" issues like race, class,
gender that are simultaneously respectful and tounge in cheek
offensive. He's been peddling his humor to audiences throughout the
Bay Area, Los Angeles, Oregon, Nevada, Hawaii and was probably the
first comedian to do a joke about NY Knicks Point Guard, Jeremy Lin...
albeit back in 2010 when he was still a Golden State Warrior and
irrelevant. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aD6vaXShvRg)
The poets qualified for Finals are Sam Sax! Tim "Toaster" Henderson!
Katelyn Lucas! Cam Rich! Bozz Lady! Kim Johnson! Tongo Eisen-Martin!
Denise Jolly! and Lisa Evans!
Believe me, you don't want to miss this one of a kind event. If you
only go to one show this year make THIS that show!
