Join Edward Tripp and Chris White on their big Poetic Hunt! A silly and subversive hour of comedy, poetry, live music and absolute filth.
Plus, live music from Dave Holwill and an audience Limerick competition!
Get involved by writing an original limerick ahead of the night and reading it onstage. The best 2 limerick writers will then have 10 mins to write a new limerick on the spot. The winner will receive a handmade prize, donated by Hatherleigh Pottery.
Edward Tripp is an award-winning Irish stand-up poet, with a penchant for the surreal. He’s performed up and down the UK, from Just the Tonic in Edinburgh to the London Museum of Comedy. Whether screaming about spatulas or soliloquising about Uncle Connor “who isn’t in the IRA,” Ed’s a prop-heavy and provocative performer.
“A roaring fire of absurd wit” – Corr Blimey,
Chris White is a performer, poet and the soggiest bottom in all Exeter. The founder of Spork! Poetry, a multiple slam winner, and the first Riddler in Residence at Exeter Cathedral. He’s performed all over from Shambala to Tongue Fu, as well as on buses and boats. Writing silly words about queerness, identity and ducks.
“A knack for humour that can make you sigh in embarrassment, while also crying with laughter.” – Bristol 24/7
