About the Cantab Lounge: What We Do

There is poetry at the Cantab Lounge every Wednesday night, year-round. Our rotating cast of hosts is led by SlamMaster Simone Beaubien. Cover charge is $3.00 (unless otherwise noted on our schedule).

• Open mic for all begins at 8:00 p.m. You may arrive as early as 7:45 for sign-up. Poems may be on any subject, and you may read more than one, but we ask that you keep your time on the mic to three minutes.
• After the open, usually at about 10:00, our featured poet performs for half an hour. Click here to see our schedule of features.
• The slam follows the feature, usually around 11:00. Most slams are open to the first eight who sign up; however, on some nights, we have semi-finals or finals in our slam series. Click here for slam details.

The Boston Poetry Slam at the Cantab Lounge is 18+, and you must have a photo ID to enter. (Note that the Cantab is 21+ for all other shows.)
