Spoken word

Hi, I've been doing spoken word events in the East Midlands for the last few years.

I worked in the nineties for a community group that toured Europe doing participatory theatre. Since then, I've kept involved in the arts mainly through Amateur Drama, taking up Spoken Word to fill the void in the gaps between shows.

Here's a couple of samples


Kraken wakes


I'm sitting in my pants,
Picking my nose
When the kraken wakes


I keep having to go up to him
Stores of love are drained


For now he thinks I'm a seasoned oak
Able to take any strain
When all I'm thinking about is the aero in the cupboard downstairs
And a glass of wine
And time to sit in my pants and pick my nose


I rub his tummy
Tickle him under the chin
I love him
Go to sleep
He's the best thing that's happened to me
Go to sleep
I love his sleep

But sleep, sleep, sleep

You bulger
Pockets bulging
You bulger
Bulging

Vouch for you

Cripsy note
Look at you're crispy note
Note, not for me
Take note
Two notes
Take your .... three notes
