Best of Poetry Slam

SLAMSHOW - presented by ReimGold

When a phenomenon called “Poetry Slam” first took the stage at the “GreenMill Jazz Club” in Chicago in 1986, no one could have imagined that it would go on to take the world by storm. “The points are not the point, the point is poetry,” was the motto from then on—the modern poetry competition was born. Socially critical, funny, poetic, emotional—Poetry Slam has retained its enormous range and, despite some attempts, simply cannot be pigeonholed.

Since 2005, ReimGold—Cologne’s most charming poetry slam—has been inviting poets to the cathedral city every month. Together with COMEDIA, they bring a hand-picked selection of the best in their field to the big stage and invite you to the “Best of Poetry Slam.”
