The team at WOL reckon that events will probably not take place on the three days of Christmas - the 24th to 26th, so we have marked this gig as cancelled.

If we are wrong please email gig@writeoutloud.net or update the gig to remove this message, and untick the 'mark as cancelled' box at the 'Edit Entry' page.

performances from:

Liverpool Kentish writer David Bateman. David is noted for his witty and sometimes surreal poetry, and was Liverpool Poetry Slam Champion 2007.
Don’t miss David Bateman appearing on Genius, BBC2, 10pm on Friday 3 April! He might be making a certain suggestion for improving the Isle of Wight.

What they said about David:

“excellent verse. There is real emotion in each piece, even underneath the cutting comic mood.” – The Big Issue.
“Poetry that slices like a razor.” – Mandy Coe.
“A marvellous poet.” – Pete McGovern.
“Spot on.” – Roger McGough.
