This Sunday, folks! 😊

One week today, we'll be at Enginuity in Coalbrookdale for the Ironbridge Festival poetry slam. Probably the most poetry fun you can have on a Sunday afternoon! Get your tickets here: www.telfordtheatre.com/whats-on/iro...

A wonderfully tasty helping of PASTA at Wolverhampton's Arena Theatre last night. Two people sharing their work in front of an audience for the first time, glorious work on the theme of 'sunshine', and a world first from @davethepitt.bsky.social who performed with a finger (his) in his mouth. 😊

A busy week this week. First up, there's PASTA this evening...

Tomorrow night, PASTA is back!! 😊

Morecambe Poetry Festival – and Luke – are both great. 😊

Yes, the summer's over, but we're still celebrating it at this month's PASTA. Come and join us at Wolverhampton's Arena Theatre on Tuesday evening. Bring your poems and stories about sunshine for the first half; anything goes int he second. See you there! 😊

This Sunday...

Quite a busy few days coming up. Willenhall Writers' and Shrewsbury Festival of Literature Poetry Slam on Saturday, @pandemonialists.bsky.social regular night 'Yes, We Cant' on Sunday. And my new collection launch in Wolverhampton next Tuesday (9th September).

All this month, we're running an exciting poetry project for people living and working in Walsall. Want to see your three-line poem projected onto a building in the town centre at the end of November? Read on... pandemonialists.co.uk/2025/09/01/w...

One week today. Open mic spots still available... 😊

1/ I don't think many folk see my Bluesky posts, but if you can and you're a poet who likes to slam, and you're in shouting distance of Ironbridge then @pandemonialists.bsky.social are looking for 15 poetry slammers for an event on the afternoon of Sunday 28th September 2025.

Today, we're enjoying the last of the summer. In a couple of weeks, we'll be revelling in a headline slot from Rob Barratt at Yes We Cant. Open mic spots still available. 😊

Bridgnorth Writers are running an excellent poetry event as part the town's Music & Arts Festival next week, with all proceeds going to support the library. Get yourself down there! 😊

Pop over to the festival website to see reviews of all the shows which were part of #MidlandsFringe... 😊 sites.google.com/view/midland...

Treat yourself, Edinburgh. Go and see @prateekkohli.bsky.social 😊

If you came along to #MidlandsFringe last weekend and want to read about what you saw – or if you didn't, and want to see what wonderful shows you missed – then (almost) all the reviews from our volunteer reviewers are now up here: sites.google.com/view/midland...

Seconded. Really entertaining. If you're in Edinburgh get along and see him.

If you’re in Edinburgh, catch Prateek at the PBH free fringe. Well worth it!

And.... relax. #MidlandsFringe #DoneAndDusted

Sunday. Day 3 of the first ever #MidlandsFringe, and we've just six fantastic shows left for you to enjoy! We're in the Lych Gate Tavern all day today, starting at 1pm with "Fire, 90s indie music" by Sarah L Dixon. Come along – we'll see you there!! 😊

Ok. This show is incredible. How’s he doing the magic? We’ve no idea. 😳

Venue no.3 is ready and waiting. First #MidlandsFringe show in The Qattery starts at 4pm. Date Night Improv - always a winner! 😎

And a review from Amanda Barrett about the opening show of #MidlandsFringe, 'Once Upon A Time' sites.google.com/view/midland...

Our local volunteer reviewers have started sending in their pieces about yesterday's shows at #MidlandsFringe. Here's David Price's response to watching The Tanner... sites.google.com/view/midland...

Show 2. Bad Fatty, by Stuart Thomas. The pic does him justice. 😂

Wow. What a start to the day from Emilie Lauren Jones! A debut show - not that you’d know. Utterly superb. Would absolutely recommend.

That moment when you discover that the venue ceiling is just too low for the festival roller banner. 😂 We have a plan, though. A plan as cunning as a weasel. #MidlandsFringe

Finally, we close Day Two of #MidlandsFringe with the second of our headline comedy shows: Stephen K Amos at Wolverhampton's Arena Theatre. This is a ticketed event, and you can get yours here: wlv.ticketsolve.com/ticketbooth/...

From the Lych Gate, we move to The Qattery for three more shows (first of these starts at 4pm). Again, these are all pay-as-you-feel events, with all money thrown in the hat going direct to the artist. Show info here: bit.ly/midlandsfrin...

We start Day Two of #MidlandsFringe with three shows in the Lych Gate Tavern in Wolves city centre. In the tradition of Fringe, each of these is free to enter – you just throw some money in the hat when it's over, and all that money goes to the artist. 😊 All show info here: bit.ly/midlandsfrin...

Huge thanks to everyone who was part of #MidlandsFringe yesterday, and helped make Day One such a success. The venues, the performers, the audiences – especially the ones who took the time to fill in feedback forms – and the reviewers. 🙏 All your Day Two info here bit.ly/midlandsfrin...

And we’re all set for our final show of the opening #MidlandsFringe. Lucy Porter at the Arena Theatre.

Show number 2 at #MidlandsFringe, and it’s Dressing Them Up! We are laughing like drains here. It’s brilliant!!

Fantastic story-telling from Maria Credali in our first #MidlandsFringe show at KTeas Cafe in Wolverhampton. Spellbinding. ❤️

The first-ever #MidlandsFringe kicks off this afternoon. Three days of Fringe in the heart of the West Midlands. Come along! All the info about all the shows is here: bit.ly/midlandsfrin...

Whoop! #MidlandsFringe starts today. Three great Fringe shows from 4pm at KTeas Cafe in Wolverhampton. Art, cake, and coffee*. What more do you need from a Friday? 😊 *or a selection of teas

72 hours from now, we'll have marvelled at the first three shows of #MidlandsFringe and we'll be sitting back watching @lucyportercomic.bsky.social smash it out of the park at the Arena Theatre. Come and join us! wlv.ticketsolve.com/ticketbooth/...

Three days from now we'll be enjoying the first of our #MidlandsFringe shows at KTeas cafe in central Wolverhampton. Friday sees 3 fringe shows (all in the cafe) and 1 headline comedy show (over at the Arena Theatre). Come and join us! 😊
