This December, champion wordsmiths from the Inner West’s biggest poetry night return to compete for the title of 2025 Bread & Butter Poetry Slampion

Since launching in early 2023, Bread & Butter Poetry Slam has enjoyed a meteoric rise to prominence in the Sydney spoken word scene and established itself as the premiere event for emerging and youth poets from Sydney/Gadigal and our surrounding suburbs.

This December, Bread & Butter champions from every slam of 2025 will return to battle it out for the title of 2025 Poetry Slampion. Come for the storytelling, wordsmithery and laughs; stay for the circus that is points-based scoring awarded by random members of the audience.

The night also kicks off with a bite-sized entree slam, which is open to any audience member. Signups are voluntary and done at the door on the night.
