Reviews for the show now in: "A rip-roaring raconteur, evoking an almost Larkinesque sense of commuter-belt ennui" METRO "This man is a genius." THREEWEEKS "Luke Wright the poet is electrifying. He's like John Hegley crossed with Mike Skinner, and turns bland anecdotes about, say, his dweeby best mate from school, or his wife's bottom, into visceral, poignant and riotously funny verse. I strongly advise you to pay to sit in a Portakabin and listen to them." THE SCOTSMAN "Britain's brightest young bard ... hugely engaging performer, smart and widely read without a trace of pretension" THE HERALD "A genuinely funny and charming insight into how a rhetorically-informed world-view can turn a quick wit into a blinding talent. Luke Wright, Poet and Man, oozes verse from every pore. Luckily for us, he’s also a born performer." FEST "The hard working heir to John Hegley ... Comic verse is in rude health at this year's Fringe, and the spearhead of its revival is Luke Wright." CRITICS' CHOICE THE GUARDIAN "Speedy yet sensitive material that tickles the funny bone." THE LIST "Luke Wright is a poet to be admired. His work is a cut above most spoken word artists. This show will further enhance his standing." THE STAGE Luke Wright, Poet & Man is available for tour Spring 2008.
