Reading for beer

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Reading for Beer is a literary event format in which texts are presented in an improvised manner. The idea for this comes from the author Lucas Fassnacht , who held the first event under this name in October 2013 in Nuremberg .

concept

The audience brings texts of any kind to the event and hands them in at the entrance, the texts are then read by the host and his guest without knowing the texts beforehand. After each lecture, which is around five minutes long, depending on the text, the audience can vote on whether they liked the text itself or the lecture better. This is usually done with the help of an applause vote. Depending on how the vote turns out, the viewer who brought the text or the speaker receives a beer.
