About Me

I have been writing comedy poetry since aged seven and since 1989 have performed hundreds of gigs - too many to count - in West End comedy and poetry clubs and places like arts centres, pubs, schools, youth centres, libraries, Royal Festival Hall (Euro 96 Poetry Fest), theatres (inc Soho Theatre), private parties, youth offending teams, NHS (mental health, drug and alcohol rehab groups), and even a funeral.As I also run poetry writing and performance workshops a day rarely passes where I am not performing to someone - it could be YOU next!See www.cccpworkshops.co.uk for details, poems etc etc
