Sydney's big night out for spoken word, 'OutSpoken', packs plenty of verbal punch. The evening word jamming event returns to Sydney with North American heavyweights, Canadian slam champion Shane Koyczan, and American wordsmiths Jive Poetics and Ken Arkind, frequenters of New York City's legendary Nuyorican Poet's Cafe. International talents are joined by locals Randall Stephens, Alia Gabres, and Alana Hicks.

Spoken word and hip hop lovers are in for a huge night live at Sydney's home for the arts - FBi Social, level two, Kings X Hotel. While poets storm the stage crazy visuals by Sydney 3D gurus, Optic Soup, and beats by DJ RR Diner, will add to the cranking good vibes all Wednesday night (14 Sept).
