POETS AND MASH
This coming Monday 27th April
Doors open at 7pm
£4 / £2 concession
at Matt and Phreds, Tib St

Celebrating art and entertainment, pop on over to see an exclusive Manchester performance from the stunning MAB JONES

Joining Mab from the 'Pen-ultimate' collective will be the amazing NIVEN GANNER, fresh from Contact Theatre the wonderful NIKKY NORTON and, making his triumphant return to POETS AND MASH, the inimitable slam champion TONY WALSH.

Winner of the John Tripp Audience Award for Spoken Poetry, MAB JONES is an amazing performance poet from Cardiff. Semi-finalist in both the Radio 4 National Poetry Slam and Funny Women competitions, she possesses a dark comic edge and a keen, satirical wit. She has performed with several well-known poets and comedians (including Joolz Denby, John Hegley, and Lucy Porter), done a stint at the Edinburgh and Leicester comedy festivals, and worked as a writer with Welsh National Opera. She will be one of six poets representing Wales at the Smithsonian Folklife Festival in Washington DC this summer.

Join us at POETS AND MASH for a brilliant night of great new verse.
