LaTeX Beamer with verbatim blocks

Overview

Placing a normal \begin{verbatim} \end{verbatim} pair in a Beamer slide breaks with a message along the lines of "Paragraph ended before \@xverbatim was complete."

Fix

Declare the frame fragile first.

\begin{frame}[fragile]

Code

\begin{frame}[fragile]
  \frametitle{My title}
  \begin{verbatim}
  My block of verbatim text    ...    ...    ...
  \end{verbatim}

  \begin{itemize}
    \item First point about slab of verbatim
    \item Isn't verbatim great?
  \end{itemize}
\end{frame}

Note on verbatim structure

Always use \begin{verbatim} and \end{verbatim}

This won't work:

\verbatim{
my
slab
of
text
}
