Liquid Lyrics, Sunshine Coast's most wordy, worldly and worthy spoken word event is back again for another year of expression, community and lets be honest, non one really knows what else.

🎤 Theme - Rhyme & Ridicule 🎤

Poets, jesters, and lovers of sharp tongues and sharper punchlines—this is your calling.

Nick & Cait are back, ready to stir the syllables and rattle the rhymes in a slam where wit is a weapon, words are wild, and the only rule is: make ‘em feel something (preferably awe, amusement, or existential dread).

If you’re bold enough to rhyme, ridicule, and revel in the absurd, step up to the mic. If you’d rather sit back and laugh, cry, or judge with a well-timed eyebrow raise, we welcome that too.

Either way, don’t miss it. Or do, but be prepared for us to write a poem about your poor life choices.

We have a bawdy bunch of guest performers to ensure your go home with a six-pack of belly laughs

Nick & Cait – A One-Time-Only Theatrical Chaos!

Yes, you read that right—your **beloved, slightly unhinged** hosts of **Liquid Lyrics** are stepping out from behind the mic and **into the madness!**

For one night only, **Nick & Cait** will be performing a **wildly improvised, extended skit** straight from **Being Human**—a scene so ridiculous, so unpredictable, and so *uniquely them* that it will **never** be performed in full again.

This is a **once-in-a-lifetime** theatrical experiment, where **wits will be tested, lines may be forgotten, and chaos is all but guaranteed.**

**Miss it? Regret it forever.**

Big Willy Shakes-Pears Crashes Liquid Lyrics!-

O, gather ye poets and perverts, for Big Willy Shakes-Pears is storming the stage at Liquid Lyrics: Rhyme & Ridicule—and trust us, this guest spot is packing heat (and a very large quill).

**He’s here, he’s hung (up on innuendo), and he’s ready to remind us all that poetry isn’t just about tragedy and heartache—it’s about scandal, seduction, and a well-timed dirty joke.

Can you help Willy find his oomph again, so Romeo & Juliet isn’t his last one-hit-wonder medieval porno? Or will this night of sonnets, sex-ed, and straight-up filth be the comeback he’s been stroking—er, waiting—for?

💋 Expect raunch, rousing rhymes, and just the right amount of roasting.

💋 This one-night-only lesson in lust, literature, and the power of consent is coming hard and fast—so strap in (or on).

💋 Big Willy is ready to give it to you “Just As You Like It.”

Something wicked this way comes—don’t miss it.
