Thursday 30th June

This week at SHORTFUSE - London's ONLY weekly fusion of stand-up poetry, performance comedy and spokenword we are pleased to welcome the return of what will become Canada's best export - 'The Fugitives':

The Fugitives are a unique hybrid of spoken word and music. They run the gamut from comedic to hard-hitting, insightful spoken word, and combine it with adventurous strong structures performed on piano, accordian, guitar, harmonica, beatbox, and voice. The result is a plethora of individual styles merged into a distinctive voice that compels its audience to celebrate, think, and care.

The Fugitives are -

Barbara Adler – three time member of the acclaimed Vancouver SLAM team; “writes smart, funny, and often deeply moving poetry around questions of history, identity, and self-image” - Georgia Straightfficeffice" />

Brendan McLeod – reigning National Individual Champion at the Canadian SpokenWordlympics, awarded to the top SLAM poet in Canada; “one of Canada’s top SLAM spielers” - CBC

Mark Berube – multi-instrumentalist with a voice that moves effortlessly from war-like wails to lullabies; “a total original in the tradition of exceptional Canadian singer-songwriters” – ffice:smarttags" />Vancouver Province

CR Avery – equal parts musician and poet, he can, among other things, play harmonica while beatboxing at the same time; “Search this man out, CR Avery is terrific” – Tom Waits

PLUS - the UK's RICHARD JOHNSON - Winner of SHORTFUSE poetry idol 4. Darkly humoured, tightly written, twisted contemporary fairy tales. WARNING: leave your inner child at home with the babysitter.
