My London run of The Petty Concerns of Luke Wright has come to an end. I’ve really enjoyed traveling up to London everyday. I’ve enjoyed the discipline its imposed on my life, and I’ve enjoyed the intensely private experience of performing. That might sound weird, but despite being surrounded by people I think [...]

Apps
Need new ways to mess around?
A novel way to waste a pound?
Keen to make a farting sound?
There’s probably an app for that
Do you forget to do your bins?
Or set the DVD for Skins?
Up the duff? Expecting twins?
There’s probably an app for that
Bad with faces? Crap at sex?
Like Shakespeare plays in tiny text?
Has father lost his [...]

They say: “Luke Wright’s poems hit their mark with pinpoint precision.”
Audiences are picking up, we’ve even had a few sell outs.
This is your last chance to see the show - only four more left. Click the link on [...]

In fact The Independent have [...]

There’s loads I want to say but I have to go and do a gig at a school.
In short the show is going well. I’m enjoying performing and I’m getting a goo response. I had a really nice review in Metro yesterday, which you Londoners might have seen. I also got [...]

This is it. In two days the curtain will be going up on my first London run. I’m doing 15 shows over three weeks. It’s ten shows shy of the run in Edinburgh; the theatre is the same size; I know the show back to front; but I have never been more nervous. [...]

Wotcha gang. Really enjoyed Saturday Live this morning. Chris Addison is a lovely bloke and Katie Derham did sterling work filling in for Fi. These are my poems:
SALT!
Some Salt! Give us salt! Our poor kingdom for salt!
Our once mighty nation has ground to a halt!
A ton for our roads and a pinch for the press,
a [...]

Not long ago I was a gen-u-ine confirmed bleeding-edge, wonky fringed, Hoxtonite plonker carving ‘only joking’ into my forearm wearing a visor and listening to Duran Duran. Now I wear suits, change nappies and listen primarily to Radio 3. The change in four short years would be phenomenal if it were not such [...]
