Spoken Word
Spoken word is a young entertainment genre in Sweden that is quickly expanding. It is similar to stand-up, one person on the scene and the same high entertainment factor but: more intensity (sometimes with rhyme and rhythm), more focus on feeling and content, less focus on laughter and laughter breaks even though humor often is an important ingredient.
This year, they will continue to welcome you to the Upstairs Bar to experience the very best artists in Swedish spoken word. Each evening you will be able to listen to six unique artists performing their newest and best spoken word. In addition, the evening will also offer fantastic encores such as music or dance performance.
Come to the club and experience humoristic, intelligent and captivating entertainment with both heart and brain - Entertain your brain with spoken word!
