Bad Language open mic | The Culture Welcome 2025
Manchester’s celebrated spoken word night Bad Language sets the stage alight with a special live literature open mic.
Our line-up of poets, novelists, storysmiths and word wranglers will include stars of the Manchester writing scene – and you can sign up for slots on the night if you fancy a spot under the stagelights.
Hosted by Joe Daly and Fat Roland, the complicated love children of Ant & Dec and Beavis & Butthead.
Bad Language was twice voted the UK’s Best Regular Spoken Word Night. This event is run in collaboration with the Anthony Burgess Foundation, home of the notorious author of A Clockwork Orange.
Students and non-students are welcome alike: entry is free, and there will be a bar.
This event is part of The Cultural Welcome – a week of events designed to help students discover the creative and cultural spaces of Manchester’s Knowledge Quarter. Find out more.
