This TPS Team fundraiser is going to be unlike anything you've experienced - a poetry gameshow! This poetry spinoff on Family Feud will take place Tuesday Aug 28 at 8 pm at Supermarket (258 Augusta Ave). It's like the popular game show but all questions will relate to spoken word or slam or writing.

The Teams have registered and we're set to go! Hosted by Anto Chan, this game show will also feature the handiwork of Brent Peers, behind the game board design and UX, and Dave Silverberg, the game's creator.

Joel Francois is a Haitian-born, Brooklyn-raised storyteller, who wishes to share his vista as a black writer and tell stories of love, family, and race through that lens. He believes that the artist is the architect of humanity and writes in search of God, love, and community. Joel's writing is an act of personal healing as his ultimate goal is to do good work with little harm.

That's right, a new poetry gameshow is coming to Toronto for one night only! SLAMILY FEUD is a TPP fundraiser for our Toronto Poetry Slam Team, who are competing in tournaments in the U.S. and Canada. Support poets and check out a fun night of poets competing against poets...gameshow-style!

Picture the game show Family Feud but tailored to poets and slam poets, with questions focused on poet behaviour. Everything remains the same from the show, including the Fast Money Round.
