Last night was the Grand Final of Commonword‘s Superheroes of Slam at Yard Theatre, Hulme. A sell out event, with standing room on the balcony and a loud enthusiastic audience who were urged on by the always wonderful compere Dominic Berry. Some truly astonishing performances, which the judges sometimes seemed to mark rather begrudgingly, but fairly. The ultimate champion was experienced slam winner, Mark Mace Smith, who collects the Dike Omeje Slam Poetry Cup and £250. Mark celebrated with a barnstorming beatbox attack on Cameron and Clegg.
