Fun + filthy poems from someone who knows what they’re doing. If there were any justice he’d be Poet Laureate, or King.

After selling out shows across the country with JOY!, Luke Wright is back with a sticky-floored celebration of the ordinary. Here the poet conjures up a world of Tuesday lunchtimes and small town boozers in poems that burst with inventive language.

Forget your “best life” - come and live your worst. These are the kind of poems you can get drunk to, full of audacious rhymes, insane sonic trickery, and big-hearted storytelling. Expect loads of laughs, a few more coins in the swear jar, and a sore head in the morning.

“A streetwise panache that puts dusty laureates to shame and a sardonic comic verve to rival Stewart Lee.” ★★★★★ The Telegraph

“A winning combination of honesty, humour, ire and wonder. He is at the peak of his powers.” ★★★★★ The Stage

“His poems shoot arrows through the heart, or leave you dazzled by their virtuosity” ★★★★ The List

“Witty observation and rollicking acuity” ★★★★ The Guardian

“A sharpness and wisdom that lifts the soul and soothes the battered heart.” ★★★★ The Scotsman

Running time: 2 hours, including a 20 minute interval.

Suitable for all.

charity. comedy. family. live music. opera. play. poetry. storytelling.


Honey & the Bear have been a tour de force on the UK folk festival circuit in recent years. The British folk and roots duo combine delicately interweaving vocal harmonies with emotive and evocative songwriting.

With a diverse range of sounds and textures, and rhythms that flow from the fast and furious to gentle ballads, their live performances are spirited and dynamic.

Conjuring stories in song, they tell tales of Suffolk folklore, courageous people they admire, and their passion for nature which has been enchanting audiences up and down the country.

“A celebration of nature, history, family and community. Truly in the folk tradition.” Steve Johnson, Morning Star

“Dexterously played with beautifully crafted arrangements around a perfect pairing of voices. This is a stunning album.” Marc Higgins, FATEA
