Part of Reading Comedy Festival

An innovative poetry show written and performed by Murray Lachlan Young, one of the UK's foremost performance poets and a regular fixture on BBC Radio 4's SATURDAY LIVE. A mixture of: poetry, stand-up comedy, storytelling and a touch of panto make for a hilarious and positive route to showing children that poetry can be fun, thought-provoking and occasionally quite cool! This show gets children dancing on-stage, completing simple fun poems, being Ponies and getting seriously involved in live interactive poetry - this is a raucous, silly, scary, funny poignant and enlightening hour of merriment and mayhem.

"Who'd have thought it .The big bad boy of performance poetry. turns out to be one of the greatest children's entertainers I have ever seen. There is not a patronising nanosecond in this show - children and 'ex-children' are treated exactly alike"  THE SCOTSMAN, FIVE STARS

"Young is clearly one of the most likeable performers not just at the Fringe, but in the world. His poetry is funny, observational and entirely silly. His audience banter is even funnier."  THE LIST, FIVE STARS
