Finalists from Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds, Newcastle, Oldham and Bolton heats come together to do battle. The winner – chosen by the audience and our panel of celebrity judges – will receive a £250 cash prize, and get their hands on the Dike Omeje Slam Champion Trophy. It promises to be a vibrant night, full of twists, turns, spills and metaphorical leaps. All the performers have beaten off keen opposition to win their own heats. Who will take the crown? Not a performer? Not a problem – the Slam is a fantastic spectator sport so come along to unwind after a hard day in the office and help us crown the 2011 Northern Slam champion!
