Matt Macdonald is a writer, performer, and reviewer based in Edinburgh who gigs frequently across the Central Belt and North East of England. He has been writing for nearly 6 years and has been published in several anthologies, magazines and collections. His debut pamphlet Who Are Your People? sold out its first printing in 4 months and the second edition is available now.

The pamphlet formed the core of his first solo Edinburgh Fringe show, an intimate, elegiac reminiscence in various languages. Having performed in the Edinburgh Fringe for the last 4 years, Matt is looking to bring his second solo show this August and competed in the Scottish National Poetry Slam in early 2015.

Entry is a minimum of £5/ £3.50 for concessions (or more if you would like! :D)
