🎤 Pass the Poison Karaoke Contest 🎤

Think you’ve got what it takes to survive the spotlight? Sign up by texting 252-320-9449 with your name and the phrase “Pass the Poison.”

Contestants’ names will be drawn at random — along with a surprise song! Don’t love your pick? You can “Pass the Poison” by drawing another contestant’s name and handing them the tune… but it’ll cost you! The first pass costs 1 ticket ($1), and each time the song is passed, the price goes up by one ticket. 💀

Judging isn’t about the best voice — it’s all about the best performance.
Bring the drama, the flair, and the fun!
