‘UTTER!’ Edinburgh Preview
14th September 2010 @ 7:30 pm - 10:30 pm
Contrarily showcasing acts who WON’T be joining ‘Utter!’ in August up in Edinburgh for the Spoken Word section of PBH’s Free Fringe – because why come up and see us in Edinburgh if we put the same acts on in London?:
GEORGE CHOPPING, previous Paid Gig contest final 2008 WINNER and host of gigs in Oxford and further abroad with poems and haiku on shit towns and illness, amongst other things. Engaging, sarcastic, funny and looks a bit like Doctor Who
ABI PALMER, previous Paid Gig contest winner with raps about Philosophers, sexiness and invisible disabilities
MARK NIEL, charismatic head honcho of Milton Keynes’s popular spoken word show and writing group TONGUE IN CHIC, editor of their anthology Tales from Mirror City and serial slam-winner
DOUGIE HASTINGS, winner of the paid gig contest at the Whitechapel gallery and purveyor of funny and poetic filth.
MORE TBA
Paid Gig contest:
YOU, the audience, vote to decide who wins a… you guessed it, PAID GIG! and a slot in the final with a chance to win £100+. 5mins each from:
SOPHIE BUCHAN reads the poetry of esteemed dead German nihilist poet Thomas von Ritter
Steve Hobbs – part of the Milton Keynes poetry cartel and also inventor of the ipad.
Fay Roberts/ Faith Hope – Mistress of Spam from the Milton Keynes poetry collective Poetry Kapow!
PLUS 2 MORE. If you’d like to compete send youtube link/mp3/5 minutes of material to richardtyronejones@gmail.com
And of course one lucky member audience will win an Utter! BAG OF BOOKS! (Some of which are really quite good, others of which take the piss a bit really)
