Thursday 9th March

This week at SHORTFUSE - London's only weekly fusion of stand-up poetry, performance comedy and spokenword we present:

After the sucess of our previous Poetry Idol Contests - from which winners have gone on to secure regular full length sets at various other spokenword events accross the country including Express Excess, Apples & Snakes, 5 star Edinburgh Fringe shows, and BBC radio apperances - we present six performers new to SHORTFUSE to compete in Poetry Idol 7.

Featuring:

Dorna Aslanzadeh

Richard Tyrone Jones

Domain Jane

Ahren Warner

Louise Bennett

The six performers will perform for 10 minutes each, and then YOU the audience will vote for their favourite acts. The winning two acts will both be given a full length paid set later in the year.
