Luke Wright:

Flamboyant, political and riotously funny, Luke Wright creates inventive poems with loads of heart. Part Essex wide boy, part dandy fop, he writes from the sidelines about small-town tragedies and national farce, then performs his work with snarl and spit.

Since 2006 he has written and performed ten spoken word shows and two verse plays, touring them to top literary and arts festivals from Australia to Scotland via Hong Kong and Bruges.

He’s won a 4Talent Award, a Stage Award, a Fringe First Award, a Saboteur Award, and the NFBC short film competition at the 2010 Cannes Film Festival. He’s been shortlisted for an East Anglian Book Award, an Off-West End Award, and an Amused Moose Award.

Wright has published four books with Penned in the Margins – The Toll, Mondeo Man, What I Learned From Johnny Bevan, and Frankie Vah. His latest book is the pamphlet After Engine Trouble, published by Rough Trade Books. He also co-authored a humour book, with Joel Stickley – Who Writes This Crap? – for Hamish Hamilton/Penguin

I cannot emphasise the serendipity of being able to book Luke, (I had to pull in a lot of favours and I’ve been trying to book him for several years now), so you would be a fool to miss it.

Price: £5.00

Time: 7:30pm (7.30PM)
