Whack the factor 50 on and join Spork! for another glorious Summer Special in Rougemont Gardens. A sun-drenched hour (and a bit) of sumptuous spoken-word, poetry & comedy. Featuring the award winning wordsmith & perpetuator of weirdness Antosh Wojcik. Plus support from the witty, wily Stewart Taylor & the wondrous Micha Colombo.
Please note, we won’t have hireable deckchairs this year but you’re welcome to bring your own blankets, cushions and folding chairs, or just sprawl out in the grass.

LINE-UP:

ANTOSH WOJCIK

Antosh Wojcik is an award winning performer, poet, sound artist and drummer. His cross-disciplinary performance piece, How To Keep Time: A Drum Solo for Dementia, was commissioned by Penned in the Margins and toured the UK & internationally. His writing has appeared in anthologies published by Bad Betty Press and Nine Arches. He is a national slam winning poet and has lectured in poetry at the University of Winchester, as well as facilitating regularly with young people. Whether in his writing or performance, his unique and off kilter style is full of disarming wit, energy and charm.

STEWART TAYLOR
Slave to the rhythm, underpaid lackey to rhyme, Stewart performs poems that make you laugh, make you think and make your ears dance like a drunken uncle at a wedding.
He has headlined spoken word events across the South and performed at festivals including Victorious and WOMAD. He won the national Anti-Slam in 2016 in the guise of archetypal pretentious poet, J Arthur Prufrock, and received five star reviews for his solo show, Spillage!, at the Brighton Fringe in 2020.

MICHA COLOMBO
Micha is a writer and performer based in Exeter. She explores creativity across various genres, emphasizing its importance for personal and community wellbeing. Micha believes in the transformative power of creative expression in navigating social, economic, and environmental challenges. Her work spans film, theatre, poetry, and audio, encouraging others to discover and develop their own creative voices. As a poet she’s been published in several journals and won last year’s Spork! Dead Poets Slam!
