These Pacific NW slams are a combination of live shows by a talented gaggle of local puppeteers and puppet short films from around the country. Frequently hosted by a 7-foot-tall amphibian, Mr. Toad, these slams have become a popular way for Portlanders to drink good beer, be entertained by talented performers and be a part of something unique.

"It’s helped me see just how many other slams are out there doing their thing and putting their own spin on it. It’s so awesome. The amount of encouragement that comes from connecting with others in the same endeavor is priceless. The more heads in the game, the better!"
