Thursday 14th June This week at SHORTFUSE - London's only fusion of stand up poetry, performance comedy and spokenword - we bring you three fantastic performers approching the stage from completely different angles (...which is no easy feat considering how intimate our stage is). Richard Herring A feature length set from the forthcoming Edinburgh Fringe show by star of 'Fist of Fun', and 'This Morning with Richard not Judy'. RC Weslowski "...is a clown mouth full of wig salesman rhetoric. Who's ever to a believe a man in gasoline pajamas? Some would snicker, some would pant in disgust but bare it no mind, RC's heart is the place to be. Fresh from a house full of shag he is honoured to be a part of the Shortfuse reading. You are more than welcome to taste him at your leisure." Shortfuse Poetry Idol Winner, we welcome back Newcastle's own queen of stand-up poetry .
