Join Spork! this Halloween for another spectacular & spooky spoken-word event, featuring the annual “Dead Poets Slam,” and the gruesome twosome of silly poetry; Chris “Ghostly” White, and Edward “Dead Wood” Tripp.

Chris White is a poet, performer and the founder of Spork! A multiple slam winner, his poems about love, ducks and other wet things are soul-searching, subversive and silly.

Edward Tripp is an award winning, provocative, and prop-heavy performer; a stand-up poet, with a penchant for the ridiculous. “A roaring fi re of absurd wit,” – Cor Blimey

THE SLAM – GET INVOLVED!

Six famous poets will rise from the dead, brought to life by six contemporary artists for one night only! They’ll battle it out in a chance to win everlasting life, plus a cash prize of £100.

Using a mixture of their own poetry, the work of their alias, and some stuff they make up on the night. Expect punches, pithy remarks and pure fi re, in the ultimate graveyard smash.
