When you are turning fifty, fighting HIV/Hepatitis C co-infections, charged with criminally masterminding the recession and unable to dance - what do you do?
Join Gerry Potter for an intimate evening of domestic/fantastic theatre-verse.
‘Fifty’ tells the story of his “most difficult year - thus far”, some parts of which are already documented in ITV1’s ‘The Briefs’ and BBC2’s ‘Britain in a Day’.
It’s an anarchic journey shared with illness and the adverse effects of its medications, with the long haul of being grassed up to the dole, with lost tickets, tags and tangents. But there is dancing. There must always be dancing.

A favourite son of both Manchester and his home town Liverpool, Gerry is creator and destroyer of the infamous gingham diva, Chloe Poems. He has a reputation for being strong on poetry and strong on the causes of poetryism.
“Gerry Potter is a world-class performer at the height of his powers, delivering intelligent, humane and searching poetry that makes us all ask who we are and who we want to be.” - Jo Bell, Director National Poetry Day
