A preview of Robert Garnham's Edinburgh show Juicy, supported by some of the top names in local performance poetry and music.
Life can be so juicy at times. Juicy like a sweet apple, filled with goodness. It's the small things that make it so ripe for exploration, for prodding and poking. Robert Garnham's new show is an hour of performance poetry and spoken word, comedy rhymes and whimsy by the bucket full.
With poems about life, LGBT issues, being envious of beards and the pitfalls of fancying a surfer, Juicy culminates in an extended theatrical piece about love and lust set at an airport departure lounge.
Multiple slam champion and longlisted as Spoken Word Artist of the Year in 2016 and 2017, Robert has performed everywhere from the Womad Festival to London Gay Pride. He has recently featured in a tv advert campaign for a building society, and headlined at The Duplex Cabaret in New York.
"What I love most about Robert Garnham is that he seems naive
and childish enough to believe that poetry can be for the actual
pleasure of the reader. His work is an invitation to spend time in
his world. He's an excellent poet with an inimitable voice and a
nice smile. " MATT HARVEY
"Robert Garnham is a larger-than-life, spectacular, scene-stealing tornado of a performer. He can say serious things more seriously through apparently absurd and whimsical verse than most po-faced 'intellectual' poets can through 'serious' poetry. A joy to watch". MELANIE BRANTON
