The
Event:





The Twin Cities sexiest spoken word event is back for it’s 18th
year and has exploded into adulthood in a glorious way. Growing from one night,
to two nights, and now a full fledged 3 day long Erotica Tournament, this is
the event that will make everybody squish and squirm with sexy this Valentine’s
Day. Up to 24 poets are traveling from all over the Midwest to compete for the
title of most Erotic Poet, and a $500 grand prize. Other prizes awarded to
other top poets.





Thursday and Friday night preliminary bouts will be made of
completely different poets, and the top four from each night will meet each other
in epic word battle in the finals show on Saturday night. Audiences can enjoy
three different shows on three different nights! The fun doesn’t stop with the
competing poets though-there will be added surprise performances and drop-ins
from some of the Cities sexiest performers each night, naughty contests, and
audience dirty haikus.





You could be one of the judges that helps crown the most
erotic poet in the Cities! Or you could cuddle up in a corner and sit back and
enjoy. The event is bigger and better than ever as all three nights are
happening in the Kieran’s Main Bar. Dinner and drinks available before and
during the show.
