Craig Chalmers: That's That One

 

Poems. He'll start with one and then do another and another and another. It'll go on like this to the end, then you can leave (assuming you arrived). 10 years since his Edinburgh Fringe debut, 2021 Hammer & Tongue grand finalist Craig is back, planning another 'bizarre, abstract and hilarious one man show' (Ben Huxley) and more 'heartfelt, tender prose' (ThreeWeeks) just the way you like it. Short, funny and a wee bit sad, he promises some 60 poems in 50 minutes. So, if you're bored, just give it a sec. Ta. That's that one. 

Harley is a poet, performer, and general nuisance. Their debut solo show, thirty, recently toured at local fringes and was heralded as "surprisingly good". They were one of the winners of the BBC's Words First competition in 2023, and they can usually be found committing poetry crimes in the local area.

 

SM Ripper is a writer and show host renegade poet from a town called Ware. The bard of The Railway, the patron saint of Shirley, you may have seen him performing in all manner of salubrious bars and unusual locations, or perhaps just hanging off the chandelier with a can of Thatchers. The chief host of Poetry Platform, Winchester's longest running poetry night, SM writes from the heart and shoots from the hip, bold, dazzling and obscure. He plumbs the depth of depravity and the heights of joy and mixes it up into one delicious hotchpot patchwork euphoria of a show. Pow.
