“To mark this year’s 100th anniversary of The Waste Land, Jim McCue will consider why we are still reading T. S. Eliot’s poem, how our understanding of it has changed, and what was meant by “editing” it as part of a 2,000-page scholarly edition of the poetry. Presented in partnership with Bristol Poetry Institute. (Photo Credit: Granville Davies)”

“Join us for this Zoom screening of the 2022 Lyra Slam qualifying rounds, as poets compete for a place in the Grand Slam Finals headlined by Joelle Taylor and Buddy Wakefield. The screening of the poems will be judged live by our three judges, with one wildcard finalist voted for by the Zoom audience.”

“Nominated for best themed night in the whole of the UK in 2020 (Chortle), TPC's culture of ensuring top but undervalued comics are paid for their craft has been respected and loved since launching in 2018. This night will also be launching PRSC's School of Activism!”

“Let's get the dial turned to 11, let's rock the fucking house, let's shout and be raucous and loud as we welcome another spectacular array of cabaret creatures, drag delinquents, and renegade strippers to the stage - and let me tell you, this lineup is EVERYTHING”
From: Cannonball Cabaret Vol 7

“A lot has happened since Nathan Caton last hit the road with his sensational The Pursuit Of Happiness tour. As ever, he’s got it all tackled in this hilarious show, covering topics such as race, politics, his passion for scented candles and being in lockdown with his girlfriend. Plus support!”
From: Nathan Caton- Lets Talked About Vex
