An evening of genre-defying lyrical wordplay flavoured with theatricality. Join us for a night of live spoken word and open mic slam at JW3, hosted by legendary Hammer & Tongue compere Sam Berkson. Winner of slams in Brighton and Liverpool, Sam will be introducing a live performance from former UK poetry slam champion and Rio International Poetry Slam Winner 2014 Keith Jarrett.

Keith will explore the obsessions of our label-driven society, going on an interactive, tragi-comic tour of identity, beginning with the birth of his name and ending with the death of his gay poem. Armed with adhesive labels, pink socks, 90s music and a handful of stories, he interrogates what it means to define yourself through everyday life experiences and cringe-worthy encounters.

Reviews from the five-star-rated show Identity Mix-Up:
"lyrically rich poems, charged with emotion, passion and lots of humour" – Sabotage
"clever, insightful, humorous and humbling... an excellent poet and one to watch" – Three Weeks
"astute... witty... charming" – BroadwayBaby
"articulate, erudite and well-informed... his beat reminiscent of Linton Kwesi Johnson and the dub poets of the eighties, of rap artists emergent since the nineties, and – of the most celebrated poets of the twentieth century." – BroadwayBaby

Places for the spoken word open mic are limited, so performances will be on a first come-first served basis.

Price: £8.00

Time: 8:00pm
