Smart Meets Spectacle · Since 2006
Literary Death Match is a literary variety show where acclaimed authors perform, celebrity judges roast, and it all ends in a gloriously absurd finale. Part reading, part game show, part party.
[Placeholder] Founded by Adrian Todd Zuniga in 2006, Literary Death Match set out to make a night of literature feel like the best show in town — four writers, a panel of all-star judges, and a finale no one sees coming.
[Placeholder] From one room to seventy-three cities across four continents. Adrian's real account of the where, when and why goes here.
[Placeholder] Four authors read for five minutes each. Three celebrity judges score on literary merit, performance and intangibles. Two finalists face off in an absurd finale. One is crowned Death Match champion.
[Placeholder] Hundreds of authors and celebrity judges — from debut novelists to household names. A short note on the calibre of the room, plus a link to the full cast and archive.
