Babeslam Open Mic Night

At Babeslam, the audience will be treated to a diverse range of performances, including poetry, comedy, and other acts, all centered around the theme 'It's all coming back to me now!'. The event is an open mic, encouraging new voices and first timers to sign up for a slot and showcase their talents. Performers will be scored by random audience members, with the highest score winning and headlining the next slam.

Death Star Laser Eye Surgery, the headliner of this month's event, is a party rock act from Margate, known for their high-energy performances.
