Lit Crawl Austin presents: Literary Death Match
Lit Crawl Austin
For some nighttime fun at the Texas Book Festival join us downtown on Saturday, November 16 from 7–10 PM for the 13th annual Lit Crawl Austin, a night of literary performances, games, trivia matches, storytelling sessions and more! For the first time, Lit Crawl Austin is under one roof. All Lit Crawl events will take place across various stages at Speakeasy Austin (412 Congress Ave. D, Austin, TX 78701). All events are free and open to the public. Guests must be 21+ to attend.
Literary Death Match
8:30pm-10pm—Join us in the Ballroom at Speakeasy Austin for Literary Death Match! Now in 73 cities worldwide, LDM brings together a mix of brilliant writers to read their most electric writing for five minutes or less before a live audience and a panel of three all-star judges. After each reading, the judges take turns spouting hilarious commentary about each story, and then select their two favorites to advance to the finals. There, the show trades in its literary sensibility for a comical climax as the finalists play a game (think “Pin the Mustache on Hemingway”) to determine who will take home the Literary Death Match crown.
