Literary Death Match Live Online!

If you still haven't managed to attend a Literary Death Match, now's your chance. Thursday, actually. Thursday's your chance. The latest installment of the raucous reading and comedy challenge will be broadcasted online - live! - from the Bowery Poetry Club.

You can of course also go in person, if you live in New York. Here are the details:

An end of the summer masterpiece is in the make, as LDM NYC Ep. 17 brings a stand-up comedy intro by four-time Emmy winner Scott Jacobson (The Daily Show) before he settles into his judges chair, alongside Tony Arcabascio (Alife founder) and Ethan Nosowsky (Graywolf Press) as they judge Elisa Albert (The Book of Dahlia), Janice Erlbaum (GIRLBOMB), Elna Baker (writer of the forthcoming The New York Regional Mormon Singles Halloween Dance) and Blaise Allysen Kearsley (How I Learned reading series). Plus, maybe the wackiness finale in LDM history!

Hosted and produced by Todd Zuniga & Erin Hosier.
