DADA

The Most Hated Poets King Otho and Noah Levin in their first in person event together in over a Decade! In person, their events were legendary.  As The Most Hated Poets it was 3D Virtual stunning, it was groundbreaking, but now the Hated Poets are back in the flesh! 

The Most Hated Poets was created in 2021 by long time NYC Poets Noah & Otho, as a spectacular unique & new Virtual Reality Open Mic experience which had never been seen by the world before. Hosted live in The Road Gallery’s Forest Floor Amphitheater, an Art Gallery and Theater created by King Otho, existing entirely in the 360 degree virtual world. 

Starting in 2002, Noah & Otho co-ran NYC’s Buffalo Readings for 12 years.  Created as a knee jerk reaction to the lack of open mics in NYC, they were known for their chaotic mind expanding words, and become infamous for their all night, talent heavy “just jump on stage” improvisational anything goes readings.  Noah & Otho first hosted their readings at the Bronx activist squat Casa Del Sol, where by wood stove fire they shouted words until Casa was closed down by the police and destroyed in a 4-alarm fire.  Noah & Otho regrouped with a jazz open mic at the Bowery Poetry Club, followed by a series of jazz/poetry Rent Parties that was featured in the Wall Street Journal, and ended their 12 year run with a reading series at Steve Cannon’s the Gathering of the Tribes Gallery.  Noah & Otho have also been featured nationwide including at the Nuyorican Poets Cafe, on the Oxford University Press Blog, in video, on the radio dial, in a museum bathtub, in the woods and out on the street.

And NOW it’s time for the Most Hated Poets return to the stage in flesh.
10 years in the making. 
Witness history, listen to words and thought and drink your livers to bust.

Join us.  Don’t be loved, Be Hated.
