Spoken Word

The Exeter Cultural Research Exchange is an evening of live spoken word, performance, facilitated dialogue and networking. Led by poet Jenniah “Senxe” Brown, the evening translates Exeter’s own strategies and priorities into language people can feel.

A monthly evening of have-a-go magic, hosted by spoken word artist and pandemic Bard of Exeter Tim King.

The story of Luke Wright’s adoption – the life he leads, and the one he might have done. Expect raucous laughter, tear-stained cheeks, and a little smattering of drum n bass.

A chance to listen to published poets read from their work and perhaps read two or three of your own. Hosted by Chrissy Banks & Matt Bryden.

Want to vocalise your bare bones vision? Maybe you would like to hear people read your script out loud? New to this and have a curiosity about making something from scratch? Start here!

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.

Performer and comedy poet Ade Smith is recognised for his distinct style that blends literary flair with every day, grit-fused modern life, and dark cynical humour.

Ever wondered how great performance really comes to life? Join a vibrant mix of local theatre-makers, comedians, dancers, musicians, actors and clowns as they step out with brand-new ideas, near-polished gems and experimental moves.

Join Spork! for our 7th annual Christmas Special, featuring the usual stockingful of spoken-word talent, some top-notch poets, a brass band, a drag queen, and a partridge in a pear tree!! Expect a big dollop of poetry, comedy, live music & festive cheer. The perfect poetry show for people who don’t like poetry.
