To celebrate our 200th episode at Buddy Guy's Legends, we're teaming with Versal and Painted Bride Quarterly for Literary Death Match: Journal Porn Edition at AWP, and we've assembled the most colossally-awarded lineup of literary superstars ever to participate in a LDM ever before. Other plans? Cancel them. This is going to be a sexy-literary-comedic night to remember!
Thursday, January 5, 2012 at 11:59AM The details are murky, and we're going to leave them that way, but brace yourselves for the Literary Death Match 6-Year-Anniversary Spectacular, with some of the most talented people on the face of NYC — or anyone's — planet. Our point is: save the date.
Wednesday, January 4, 2012 at 12:00PM We can't stand the idea of LDM's six-year anniversary celebration being a one-night-only affair (after all, our 100th event happened 12 times around the world), so we're keeping the party going with a return to DC9 presented by 826DC (volunteer now!), for a night of literary spectacle and comedic sensation.
Tuesday, January 3, 2012 at 12:00PM Let the six-year anniversary of Literary Death Match roll on! To celebrate six years (and the LA Times kindly calling us "one of the most entertaining reading series ever") we're storming Beantown, once again at Oberon, with more artistry than Tree of Life and more thoughtful, silent pauses than The Artist. Get ready for a rollickin' good time!

In an ongoing celebration of our six-year anniversary, Literary Death Match is teaming with the brainiacs at Writers' Centre Norwich to put on a show at Norwich Arts Centre that promises to be a rollicking literary and comedic bash for the English ages.
Saturday, December 24, 2011 at 7:32PM On the second stop of our wildly ambitious (and somewhat bumbling) Scandinavian tour, we head to Korjaamo Culture Factory to make what we're sure will be an epic Helsinki debut. Come one, come all, as the night is sure to deliver the best literary and comedic fireworks this side of Mannerheimintie!

Literary Death Match has made no secret of its distracting crush on Scotland, which is why we're returning to the UK's lone City of Lit — and the Voodoo Rooms — for a Birlinn & Polygon-presented early-spring blowout featuring (honestly, really) some of the best names in Scottish literature.

The first Irish Literary Death Match of 2012 storms its Dublin home at The Workman's Club on the quays, with a line-up pulsating with such diverse talent that your kneecaps will go tingly, and your brain will fill with possibility. The strange part: we're actually serious.
Sunday, May 1, 2011 at 6:24AM If you want your brain lit up with possibility, and the ache of heartbreak and want, listen to Jamaal May's performance at Literary Death Match DC, Ep. 2. It was exquisite, and it won't take up too much of your day.
So, yeah, give a listen/watch. Spread the word. And we'll be more regularly-scheduled going forward. In fact: comment below on what you want from LDM the Podcast, if you'd like. We'll listen.
