Literary Death Match Tickets

Literary Death Match is a distinctive live-reading series and competition that has traveled the world since its inception in 2006. Co-created by Adrian Todd Zuniga, Elizabeth Koch, and Dennis DiClaudio, the format features four readers delivering short, powerful readings (about seven minutes or less). Three panelists judge performances across three categories, culminating in a finale that crowns the champion. The show has been produced in major cities such as New York, San Francisco, and London, earning critical recognition including the 2008 Best Scribbler Smackdown from the San Francisco Bay Guardian.
