Your queer vegan poet host DOMINIC BERRY presents brand spanking new Poetry Performance from some of Manchester's rising poetry stars
SHIRLEY MAY ... the legendary star of Manchester's stunning speakeasy night, Shirley May was winner of the North West Poetry Slam in October '99 and then part of the successful North West poetry tour SISTA TALK. As a performer, mentor, poet and spokesperson, Shirley is a true inspiration.
RACHAEL K ... an intensely moving and deep artist, Rachael K has become known as a multi instrumentalist, singer, actress and skilled crafter of words, however this set will be focusing on her exceptionally stirring spoken word works. An exploration of trans identity in the city, this provocative and emotional performance is not to be missed.
MIA DARLONE ... hilarious comic performer coming to POETS AND MASH fresh from her successful show 'Below the Belt', creator of such characters as Cockney Rhyming Slag and the flirty therapist, Mia's work is very funny and very insightful. Quickly building a strong reputation across both the comedy and poetry circuits, a show from Mia will always entertain.
Proving Art and Entertainment can be one, POETS AND MASH is an evening of love, laughter and lyrical language. Artists already established on Manchester's thriving poetry circuit take new work to a new night that examines and explores the depths of city lives. Expect a stimulating yet accessible marrying of page and theatre.
POETS AND MASH presents to you some of the most exciting spoken word artists in Manchester today. Not to be missed!
