In the cosy confines of the Poetry Cafe Studio, Dan Simpson and Niall O'Sullivan will be unveiling rough cuts of their debut one man shows.

In WE ARE ALL ORANGE GHOSTS, Dan Simpson explores life, happiness, and Clyde - the orange ghost from Pac-Man.

In NOW IS NOT THE TIME FOR POLITICS, Niall O'Sullivan uses the Terza Rima form to document the year in which he became a Dad.

DAN SIMPSON is a spoken word poet and compère, poetry projects and event organiser, workshop facilitator and writer. His poetry deals with love and literature, science and stars, ex-girlfriends and Xboxes: all that good geeky stuff. He compères The Word House in London and creates crowdsourced poetry.

NIALL O'SULLIVAN has been involved in London's poetry scene since the nineties, releasing three collections of poetry and serving residencies for the South Kilburn Estate and the Wimbledon Championships. He currently runs London's longest running open mic, Poetry Unplugged, at Covent Garden's Poetry Cafe and teaches Poetry and Performance at London Metropolitan University.
