December's Word of Mouth sees three renowned performers from London, Manchester and Bristol take over the Bristol Old Vic's Basement for a night of razor sharp spoken word, hosted by the'achingly funny' Byron Vincent.
Kate Tempest's rapid-fire lyrics encapsulate urban life. While she's not one to shy away from telling it exactly how it is, her words are moving and inspiring with an electric delivery that whips across the stage.
