Clear your calendar - It's going down! VERBAL FIGHT CLUB NYC kicks off on October 8th, and you're invited to take part in the battle! Muchmore's (2 Havemeyer St) is our stage for a night of fun and excitement. Come one, come all, bring a guest, and tell us how you really feel. This is going to be epic!

In a world of Facebook self-censorship, 140 character twitter constraints and obnoxious political soundbites, are we losing the ability to battle verbally? Have we forgotten how to articulate and own our ideas? Verbal Fight Club is a space where we can test our own level of endurance and conviction on current issues of great (or little) importance. Its fun, often hilarious and intensely passionate.

Here’s how it works: Everyone completes a battle card with a question, topic or statement. The card goes into a barrel. The adjudicator draws a card to be battled and two people take the stage to verbally fight it out. There are rules (the first rule of verbal fight club is you should always talk about verbal fight club, the second rule of verbal fight club is you should ALWAYS talk about verbal fight club) and there are respectful and engaging interjections that the audience is empowered to use throughout.

Come battle your convictions at New York's first Verbal Fight Club!
