Thursday 8th February:

This week at London's only weekly fusion of stand-up poetry, performance comedy and spokenword we once agan present a night unlike any other... 

Simon Munnery

A feature length extended set from the mind and body behind Alan Parker: Urban Warrior, The League Against Tedium and Buckethead… tonight appearing as himself…expect surreal philosophising, comic invention, freewheeling verse and a dribble of harmonica…or something else entirely.
  
'One of the most original and talented comics in the country' - The Observer

‘As always, Munnery has his finger on the pulse of something ghastly’ - The List

'Gags so perfectly crafted they should be on display at Tate Modern’ - Chortle 

Martin White and The Mystery Fax Machine Orchestra

A setful of songs from one man, his accordion, and his newly formed Mystery Fax Machine Orchestra. With a way with a deft & damn funny literary lyric, this man has rapidly become one of our favourite acts...and with the new line up this has got to be an act you do not want to miss.

Tim Clare

 Winner of Shortfuse Poetry Idol 9, a comic well versed in poetry and poet well versed in comedy.

With Resident Host:

NATHAN PENLINGTON-

‘A natural performer, witty, inventive, stylish and original’ - Rob Newman 

 '...has little in common with Eminem...' - Metro

'...thinks he has something in common with Snoop Dogg' - Steph Healey, Poetry Cafe

Thursday 22nd February This week at London's ONLY weekly fusion of stand-up poetry, performance comedy, and spokenword we bring you a show with a musical twist...

A feature length set from the fantastic Jesus Licks - A mix of grassy sounds and beautiful melodies, songs with a pop sensibility teamed with dark chord sequences and black comedic lyrics.

Performing from their acclaimed debut album 'Terrible Beauty', plus some brand new tracks.

Adam Green - writer, comic and mild depressive - reads from his debut novel 'Satsuma Sun-mover'(Lazy Gramophone Press), a tour de force, a bouncing rampage through philosophy and the squashing of boredom; a buoyant travelogue charting the railways and junctions of the soul. 


'Satsuma Sun Mover is Adam Green's first novel but you wouldn't think that from its confident picaresque stance, somewhere on the hinterland between Beckett, Flann O'Brien, and Saul Bellow.'
Joe Ambrose, Outside Left Magazine

Scroobius Pip

Winner of Shortfuse Poetry Idol 9 and rapidly rising star performs his compelling mix of poetry, storytelling, comedy.
