Word Hurl Anti-Slam goes into the jungle!

Emerging from the fronds, tiki torch in hand Word Hurl Anti-slam in April has been sucked by leeches, bitten by snakes and narrowly avoided being eaten by monstrous poisonous plants to bring you some brand spanken spoken word goodness. Some come, oh yes, please do and if inspiration takes hold bring a piece about the jungle.

DATE/TIME: Sunday April 29 from 7pm
LOCATION: ARThive. Level 1/111 Hunter Street Newcastle (Access via Morgan Street)
