Blahblahblah presents...

If you need dragging out of the post festive doldrums then we’ve got the cure for what ails you. We’ve always said that our mission at Blah is to book writers with interesting perspectives who have the skill and charisma to express their ideas engagingly. January’s line up delivers this in the best way possible. Whilst in style, tone and content they couldn’t be further apart, the thing that unites January's performers is excellence.


Elvis McGonagall

Hilarious and splenetic, Elvis is the 2006 World Poetry Slam Champion and appears regularly on BBC Radio 4

(“Saturday Live”, the “Today Programme”, “Arthur Smith’s Balham Bash” and others as well as writing and presenting documentaries) and at literary and music festivals, comedy clubs and dodgy dives up and down the country. He has appeared on BBC1’s “The One Show” (his jacket clashed with the lime green sofa), BBC2’s “The Culture Show” and will soon be featured on Channel 4’s “Random Acts”.

“….righteous ire, directed at very deserving targets….McGonagall’s verses are shot through with a moral umbrage and rhetorical power” (****The Guardian)

Rhian Edwards is a poet and musician who has delivered over 300 stage, radio and festival performances world-wide. One of the most unique and engaging voices around today, she recently won the John Tripp Award for Spoken Poetry, winning both the Judges and Audience award. Her poems have appeared in the Guardian, Times Literary Supplement and Poetry Review to name but a few.
