There’s going to be chocolate, treats of all kinds, a chance to write - will it be haiku, will it be limericks? We don’t know but it will be utterly enjoyable.
Chris White is the phenomenal slam-winning SPORK founder and curator and Exeter Library events person who makes so much magic happen in so many ways - and he’s a poet and he’s very funny. Very. And cheeky.
Former Bard of Exeter Edward Tripp is an award-winning stand-up poet, with a penchant for all things dark and surreal. A frequent performer on comedy and poetry stages alike, he’s taken his work around the UK from A Press of Suspects to Milk Poetry, to WOMAD Festival, and the Edinburgh Fringe. Ed’s always an utterly giggle-making, hilarious, prop-using, provocative performer.
