Worst Poet Wins

About

Join us for another night of brilliant comedy & truly terrible poetry.

Spork! Poetry & Edward Tripp are teaming up to present another Worst Poet Wins; a poetry slam competition where only the very worst will win.

Prepare to be amused, revolted and bored, as eight comedians and poets perform their most stupid, cringe-worthy & pretentious poems, in a bid to find the crappest poet of all time. Featuring some special guests (TBA!) and a headline set from surreal stand-up poet and judge, Edward Tripp. Hosted as ever by the pathologically perplexed Chris White.

Edward Tripp is an award-winning stand-up poet, with a penchant for all things dark and surreal. A frequent performer on comedy and poetry stages alike, he’s taken his work around the UK from The Edinburgh Fringe to the Museum of Comedy. Whether screaming about spatulas or soliloquising about Uncle Connor “who isn’t in the IRA,” Ed’s an always hilarious, prop-heavy and provocative performer.

"I’m not sure John Hegley cracked a smile" - the PRSD on last year's WPW.
