Thursday 23rd February - shortfuse

Thursday 23rd February

This week London's ONLY weekly fusion of stand-up poetry, performance comedy and spokenword presents three talented writers who bring their own very unique perspectives to the spokenword.

Tim Wells:

A feature length reading from the editor of the long running poetry zine ‘Rising’ and author of ‘Boys’ Night Out In The Afternoon’ – a well crafted poetry collection which “displays the candour and swagger of a barroom raconteur” (Donut Press) with an in-depth knowledge of Carry On films, Roman literature and middle-class girls.

“Verse that excites, entertains, delights and jump-starts your cerebral cortex like an Iggy Pop feeding you a Semtex aspirin” – Phil Jupitus.

Thaddeus Rutkowski:

A rare and long awaited reading from New York author of the acclaimed ‘Rough House’ (Kaya Press) and ‘Tetched’ (Behler Publications)

“…tough and funny and touching…” John Barth.

Annie Freud:

Intelligent poetry laden with a gentle wit and cutting humour that effortlessly moves, amuses and astounds.

With Resident Host:

NATHAN PENLINGTON-

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

‘Consistently original and accessible’ – Chortle
