The Petty Concerns of Luke Wright

Friday 11 June 2010
20.00 (Auditorium)

This is a quote from The Independent's Johann Hari (& Newsnight TV commentator):

"I love Luke Wright. Ordinarily, I view performance poetry with the same excitement which I would greet a diagnosis of bowel cancer...but Wright offers the rarest of phantasms – a show you leave with more energy than when you entered. He is the 27-year-old sexy, super-smart founder of Aisle 16, the poetry boy-band who are saving poetry from slow ossification.

Adrenaline-drenched poetry with stand-up style banter.

"Comic, acute, rhythmic eulogies to modern life” The Independent

"Performance poetry's key revivalist." Metro

“Positively life enhancing as well as hilarious …” Bruce Dessau, The Evening Standard.

£10(GA) £9(Conc) £8(Mem)

Thurs 3rd June 7:45pm.

Edinburgh Preview show:

These guys are funny. Describing themselves as a bunch of "nice middle class boys who can't grow beards",
'The Lunchtime Club' are all about wordy, foolhardy, laugh-out-loud comedy.

The fivesome of Alfie Brown, Benjamin Partridge, Ivo Graham, Joe Lycett and
David Morgan are all accomplished comedians in their own right and
together they make an award winning combination
which took Edinburgh by storm in 2009 and looks set to
do the same again in 2010!

CANCELLED

ANNOUNCEMENT:

Due to unforeseen circumstances, SCANNER (aka Robin Rimbaud) has had to move his scheduled performance to a later date (to be announced very soon). All 22nd May tickets, by the way, will be honoured for this new date.

The good news is that the new performance will become an exclusive for The Firestation and will be based around earlier works with a "controversial element" to the performance. Watch this space!
