Danny x
Danny Chivers started performing poetry in 2006 and now can’t seem to
stop. Never one to shy away from controversy, his poems tackle subjects
such as climate change, the war on terror, and world domination by
militant pigeons. He believes that humour, sarcasm, dodgy rhymes and pop
culture references are all suitable weapons in the fight against global
injustice and against people who compare him to a fictional teenage
wizard.
Danny became Oxford Hammer & Tongue Slam Poetry Champion in 2007 and has since performed at festivals, comedy nights, benefit gigs, youth clubs,
conferences, campfires, Borough Council award ceremonies and in front of
lines of riot police around the UK. His work appears in the anthologies
“This Poem Is Sponsored By...” (www.corporatewatch.org.uk) and “Re:Versing
The Damage: Notes From The Climate Journey” (www.the-nail.co.uk), and has
been broadcast on Radio New Internationalist (www.newint.org/radio).
He is a freelance environmental writer, researcher, and activist based in
Oxford. Various aspects of his work can be found online at

“Oxford’s witty eco-warrior” – Truck Festival
“Half master of witty banter, half eerily reasonable prophet of
environmental Armageddon” – Radio Foreplay
“A star in the making” – John Rivers, Fifth Estate
Booking Danny Chivers was the best thing I've ever done in my life. Since then I have discovered a new-found zest for life, my boss has more respect for me and I've renounced my prior involvement with the BNP. I've seen the light, you could too. Just book Danny Chivers.
Brilliant is an understatement !!! I have never heard poetry like yours before. I hope you come back to Nantwich ... or somewhere nearby again very soon.
