In the cocktail hour slot on Friday, come join us for an energising aperitif of punchy poetry with former UK Slam Champion Rick Dove.
Rick is a queer, disabled, and neurodivergent writer and who has brought his signature blend of lyrical storytelling and political poetry to stages across the UK and internationally, including The Phantom Laundry in 2022.
This will be 20 minutes celebrating 10 years of performing, with something old, something new, something borrowed – and maybe something blue (if you ask nicely).
Whether you are a long-time poetry lover or newer to the art, there is bound to be a poem for you. Equally at home on a stage, a page, or a march, Rick has a vision of a fairer world and he wants to take you with him (draft you into the revolution).
