I know people that have been active in the poetry and spoken word scene. I can get going to something for the first time can feel daunting, but you'll be surprised how welcoming everyone is. You might find a place with a crowd you gel with and maybe you might even go up and read something.

One thing I noticed from doing standup is the bar is so, incredibly, low, and people are supportive of anyone giving things an earnest shot.
