Do you know a, or are you a youth poet looking for summer opportunities? The Dirty Gerund’s roadshow crew is currently finalizing dates for our summer all-ages pop ups around Worcester County. Final dates & times for the 2026 Daylight Ruckus are TBA but we expect to soon announce June, July, and August open mics & poetry events for all ages participation & audiences at a variety of locations around the city (and maybe even beyond, out into the greater county area).

These events will NOT take place on Mondays. Our regular weekly show is 21+ both inside and outside. Please do not come to Ralph’s for poetry night until you are of age and have a valid ID for the door.

To make sure you don’t miss out on the when and where, sign up for email alerts for anything we post here. When we announce the all ages dates/times, you’ll be the first to know.
