Ok, the next show will feature the following artistes doing a turn:

ASHLEY REAKS
[Comedy/Football Results/Ill]
www.myspace.com/ashleyreakscomedy

'One of the funniest men at loose in his own clothes, his is a Northern English nightmare of puppets, explosions, mental illness, wigs, music and sausage fat. He is unlike any other performer you have ever seen. If you enjoy masochistic laughter: weeping, aching ribs, stomach cramps and peeing yourself, hey, come on down!' - Blang!

'A Northern English nightmare of masks, explosions, football results, The Grumbleweeds, The Royle Family, senility and childhood'



JOHN RID
Mississippi Delta Blues

LAURETTA DE MAR
A poetry drag act with great legs and she's a bit of a goer too...



PAUL TANNER
Young Liverpool poet with bite, part Bill Hicks, part Sid Vicious:
THIS WRITERS’ OBLIGATION

Trees, trees, fucking trees,
and flowers and dew and
all that whimsical bollocks

what happened
to the urgency
of the writer

what happened to
the writer
is he still as big an arsehole
as he always was

telling the
overworked
underpaid
taxed
unhappily married
scared
ill
repressed
public
to be ashamed
for not admiring the buttercup
like he does?

FUCK OFF!

it’s the people
you should be documenting
not your own lyrical masturbation

the bomb’s gonna drop
Amerikkka’s coming
England is shrinking
everyone has cancer
and you want us all to
stop
and read your
delicate multi-syllables
on clovers??

soon
there’ll be no one to read
your precious fucking day dreams.
