The Last Word 2023 | Epic Spoken Word Festival Returns
The performers taking to the stage at Camden’s Roundhouse this June are all as good as their word.
Which is unsurprising seeing as they’re all talented poets, writers and spoken word artists – and they’re getting together for a fortnight-long festival celebrating the art of the word. It’s been an annual tradition for a decade now, and the line-up for 2023 is looking extremely decent.
It kicks off in June with the Poetry Slam Final – a fixture of the festival since 2013, in which six young finalists who’ve battled through national heats (you can catch the London heats in late May) duke it out in one final night of quick-fire spoken word, each performing their own original compositions. It’s one of the fastest-paced, most exciting nights of the programme, and gives you a chance to discover the next generation of writing talent for only a fiver.

Then, there’s all the special one-off events for this year, including:
Who, technically speaking, will have the last word.
NOTE: The Last Word 2023 runs from 1st – 18th June, but you can catch the London poetry slam heats from 22nd-25th May. You can read more about all the different events taking place, and book your tickets, HERE.
