Apples and Snakes presents
Big Talk

A carnival of spoken word and poetry with open mic, national guest poets and poetry films. A chance to experience some of the most engaging, insightful and entertaining poets in the UK sharing their wit and wisdom in the intimate and atmospheric setting of the Tom Thumb Theatre.

Featuring:

Adam Kammerling cut his teeth at the open-mic cyphers and rap battles of the Brighton hip-hop scene. Since 2008 he has been performing spoken word across the UK and overseas. Weaving numerous voices through his own, he incorporates elements of poetry, rap, theatre and comedy to create immersive, engaging works that push the boundaries of performance poetry. His work encompasses the finer and grimier points of everyday life, celebrating the minutiae with an observant eye and a healthy dose of surreal humour.

Paula Varjack hails from Berlin, London, Washington (and other places she’s forgotten). For the last three years she has toured extensively, performing in theatres, bars, galleries and cabaret nights across Europe. Her work yields a unique fusion of lyrical storytelling and charismatic performance, often accompanied by music or video.
