Tongue Fu celebrates it’s tenth anniversary in 2017. Writer, musician, founder and host, Chris Redmond, invites extraordinary poets, comedians, storytellers and rappers to take risks; re-working material live, with jaw-dropping improvised soundtracks from a crack team of quick witted, genre- hopping musicians.
No two shows are the same and this irreverent blend of well crafted words, improv and music have earned them critical acclaim at music, poetry and literature festivals across the UK and around the world. Join us for this high energy, big hearted show. Part gig, part experiment, all fire.
