Laura Dockrill is a spoken word artist and illustrator from south London.
Raised by a family where eccentricity is the second thing checked by the nurse, on request, her moniker 'Dockers MC' is enthralling.
Verbally drowning the audience with a treasury of words, she feeds the audience monologues of characters she had created with her ability to absorb traits of people by face, voice and observation alone.
Its Dockers' clarity and hilarity combined that makes her talent immensely entertaining.
Delivered in a captivating way that literally has the audience indulging on her every word, and vying to be caught in her dottily dressed eye contact.
As well as having an audience in the palm of her hand, her hands are also the second string to her bow.
At her fingertips she is blessed with an illustrative talent that not only consumes the on looking eye, but it is a pictorial overview of the slideshow in her mind.
Her drawings are enough to make you wish that 'see' had invited his other 6 sense friends to get involved when she was drawing it.
Artwork for Kate Nash and Scroobius Pip have been the perfect expressive platform for her creativity.
This year has started well for Dockers MC, she was selected by the Times newspaper as one of the top 10 literary talents for 2008.

A treat for the eyes and ears is a rarity but she easily combines the two, usually wearing a colorful dress.
Laura is now published by Harper Collins, and her first book 'Mistakes In The Background', will be available from November 5th 2008.
