Literary Death Match: Pride Edition
Literary Death Match: 4 authors, 3 judges, 2 finalists, 1 champion.
The City of West Hollywood’s 2026 WeHo Pride Arts Festival presents:
Literary Death Match: Pride Edition
Literary Death Match — part literary event, part comedy show, part game show — brings together four of today’s finest LGBTQ+ writers to read their own work, before being jovially critiqued by three all-star judges. They pick two readers to advance to the finals to compete in a vaguely literary game to decide the ultimate winner.
It's like one big literary hug during an era we could all use one. Expect big laughs, big talent, and a giant reminder of the illimitable power of books.
Judges: Steven Reigns, Melissa Chadburn, Rex Ogle.
Readers: Myriam Gurba, Mac Crane, Rasheed Newson, Isle McIlroy.
Host: Adrian Todd Zuniga.
Contains strong language, no late seating!
This program is part of the City of West Hollywood’s free 2026 WeHo Pride Arts Festival, 2 full days of FREE LGBTQ+ art, theatre, drag, music, and crafts taking place May 23-24.
