Marvin Cheeseman - Poetry
Over the last five years Marvin’s work has featured on BBC Radio 1, 2 and 4 and
he appeared on the BBC television poetry series ‘Whine Gums.’
He has published a limerick collection entitled ‘Making Prawn Sandwiches for Roy Keane’.
A new book, ‘We Hate It When Our Ex-Lodgers Become Successful’ is to be published in 2008
Mother’s Ruin - Prose/Poetry
How do you get a teenage son to go to bed? -
Can you survive a shopping expedition with your mum? -
What do you with the wobbly bits that come out of the turkey? -
And why is that woman hiding in the Wendy House?
Writers Katherine Pirnie, Rosey Darbishire, Jean Woodhouse and Zosia Wand
explore these and other questions, with the help of a large slug of gin.
Lynne Crook - Comedy
Lynne is a relative newcomer to the stand-up scene, having been
placed runner-up in Muncaster Castle’s inaugural ‘Best New Stand-Up in the North’ competition.
She hopes that comedy may offer a route into a life of lie-ins, before she has to actually get a proper job.
Plus Music:
Louise Martin
Louise Martin is in fact two people - singer Louise Mary Martin and musician Jay Rollins.
‘We could never decide on a name for ourselves collectively and I was doing a lot of solo shows too
so we stuck with mine. Now, however, we think it would make more sense to us and others to
share nominal ownership of the music… but… we still can’t think of anything!
Suggestions are invited, from the sublime to the ridiculous if for nothing other than inspiration, distillation or elimination.’
Compere: Steeve The Poet
Doors Open 8.30pm
Admission £3/£2 (conc)

Slams
Is it a contest? Is it an event?
Well, usually local and just for one night, so they’ll be going in here rather than under competitions…
