Thursday 17th March - shortfuse

Thursday 17th March

This week at SHORTFUSE - London's best and only weekly fusion of stand-up poetry, performance comedy and spokenword - we present a diverse range of established performers on the London scene:

Rachel Pantechnicon – one of the best character performers in London opens her handbag of emotions and offers fluff covered pastilles of insight…and the missing segment of the Beaux Tapestry.

S.P.Howarth – winner of the 3rd SHORTFUSE POETRY IDOL CONTEST, an energetic blend of observation and in-yer-face performance.

Bette O’Callaghan – hard livin’, heavy drinkin’, chain smokin’ poetry that walks on the wrong side of the road but lives to tell the tale.

Rebecca Sabin – one of London’s finest poetry performers, deceptively sweetly sharp. ‘Sensational’ – John Cooper Clarke.

HOSTED BY:

NATHAN PENLINGTON- "An act truly worthy of praise! His section is a smooth blend of comedy, storytelling and poetry. His writing and stage presence are both enjoyable and understated" - Three Weeks

+ discs of darkness spun by DJ DAVID BUSH
