Arthur Smith & Clare Ferguson-Walker: Two poets and a packet of crisp
Doors 18:30
Two poets from different planets crash land onto stages across the U.K and Ireland, making a poetic and comedic show greater than the sum of its parts....(never ask a lady the sum of her parts). Expect poems, puns, laughter and tales from these two brilliant wordsmiths.
CLARE IS UNIQUE. She is an award winning poet, comedienne, sculptor and singer. Clare’s explosive second collection "Chrysalis" Published by Clockwork Moth, lays bare the poet's soul and takes the reader on an intimate journey laced with humour and intelligent humane observation.
"Hilarious, touching and incredibly clever" - Metro
"Don't know how Clare can get up on stage and be so effortlessly funny and engaging, I love her stuff" - Brian Bilson
Clare Ferguson-Walker is a regular special guest with the legendary "Governor of UK stand up poetry", John Cooper Clarke. She has shows with him coming up soon on his upcoming UK tour in spring 2024. JCC says CFW is as "Funny as Fuck". Could there be a greater accolade from the man who so many stand ups cite as their greatest influence. Just ask Tom Rhodes! Another UK poet and stand up who Clare has often worked with, Phil Jupitus describes her as
"Absurdly Talented" The late great Jeremy Hardy was a massive fan.
