Literary Death Match are back and putting on an evening of epically hilarious, literary proportions that will have you tap-dancing on your chair (or, more likely, applauding).

Literary Death Match returns to Miranda at Ace Hotel London to celebrate the launch of LDM's founder Adrian Todd Zuniga's debut novel (Collision Theory), for a night rife with levity, wildness, smarts and so much else that you'll have to see it to believe it.

What is Literary Death Match? Part literary event, part comedy show, part game show, Literary Death Match brings together four of today’s finest writers to compete in an edge-of-your-seat read-off critiqued by three celebrity judges, and concluded by a slapstick showdown to decide the ultimate champion.

Judges and Readers of Round 1 to be announced.

Round 2:

* Chris Power, debut author of the short story collection Mothers, and his Brief Survey of the Short Story has appeared in the Guardian since 2007
* Irenosen Okojie, Betty Trask award-winning author of the novel Butterfly Fish and the short fiction collection Speak Gigantular

Hosted by LDM creator Adrian Todd Zuniga.
