It’s all a bit Roundhouse centric this, isn’t it?
But WAIT, there’s MORE!
Georgie’s knack for blending the relatable and the profound has earned her praise beyond the stage. On social media, she’s captivated over 150k followers, garnered more than 6.8 million views and her work has been shared by Malorie Blackman, Adrian Lester and British pop-rock band Bastille who said her poetry was ‘fucking brilliant’.
From platonic loves to Pitbull and everything in between, Georgie is building a reputation as one of the most engaging voices in contemporary poetry.

Can I Have A Word? Open Mic Night: An evening of Spoken Word and Laughter in Southampton, Hampshire
An evening of rhyme, rhythm, and truth — all under one mic.
Welcome to a night where words take flight, hearts beat to the rhythm of verse, where tears and laughter mingle with applause.
Open Mic nights are where legends begin: Every performer has that first time — the shaky breath, the thud of nerves, the light in your eyes as you face the crowd. Open Mic nights are where future poetry champions first take the plunge. No filters. No smoke machines. Just you, your truth, and an audience eager to hear it.
