“Howdy y'all! Comedy cowgirls Millie Haswell and Niquita Munowenyu here flirting with you live from the moon! This month, Cowgirl Comedy is boldly going where no horse has gone before: SPACE.

“Our culture of ensuring top but undervalued comics are paid for their craft has been respected and loved since our launch in 2018, and now we're at the Chelsea Inn baby.”
From: The People's Comedy: Easton

“Stefan Mohamed is a performing poet, novelist and geriatric millennial based in Bristol. His poetry pamphlet 'The Marketplace of Ideas' came out in 2021 with Stewed Rhubarb, and his new collection 'Farewell Tour' will be published by Verve Poetry Press later in 2022.”
From: Tonic 040: Stefan Mohamed

“One bittersweet Christmas, three generations of the Rummer family are summoned home for one last gathering. Told through the eyes of a daughter, Unbroken weaves fragments of memories into the body of one performer as a dark, previously buried secret finds its way to the surface.”
From: Unbroken by Nikki Rummer
