Tongue Fu at Udderbelly

Contact: tonguefupoetry@gmail.com

Tongue Fu returns to Udderbelly with a dizzying line up of spoken word, comedy and beatboxing with improvised soundtracks from the Tongue Fu Band (credits inc. Jamie Cullum, The Puppini Sisters, Beardyman) and films from design crew CR&D.

Part show, part experiment, Tongue Fu is London’s liveliest and largest spoken word show; a riotous experiment in live literature, music and improvisation.
