Headlining on 10th November at Shaken in Sheep Town.

Dan Whitaker started performing age 16 on the Poems, Prose and Pints stage at the Tap and Spile, Harrogate. Moving to Sheffield at 18 Dan was a founding member of the University of Sheffield Poetry society and a core member of the University slam team. A new member of Writing squad and tutee of Helen Mort, Dan is making his first exploration into page poetry with a short Pamphlet; 'Know-it-all' being released with OFW Press. His work explores simple themes through an innocent and childish perspective resulting in touching, heartfelt poetry.

"Dan Whitaker’s poems stand on the threshold between growing up and adulthood - so fresh and demotic you’re right in there with him as he turns over the experience and wisdom, the love and loss, gives it all a good shake - before deciding whether to jump." - Steve Dearden
