Luke Wright is a poet, broadcaster and playwright whose live shows are legendary. He has regularly supported John Cooper Clarke and Peter Doherty. We are thrilled that he is coming to Voewood with his new show Pub Grub. Simon Finch will be supporting him with his show Whitish Male ..poetic fragments of memoir. The doors will open at 6.30pm and the bar will be open then, at the interval as well as at the end of the show.

Fun + filthy poems from someone who knows what they’re doing. If there were any justice he’d be Poet Laureate, or King.

A sticky-floored celebration of the ordinary. Wright conjures up a world of Tuesday lunchtimes and small town boozers in poems that burst with inventive language, sonic trickery, and big-hearted storytelling.

“A streetwise panache and a sardonic comic verve to rival Stewart Lee.” ★★★★★ Telegraph
“Honesty, humour, ire and wonder. He is at the peak of his powers.” ★★★★★ Stage
“His poems shoot arrows through the heart” ★★★★ List
