Matthew Hammond

Matthew Hammond, the Stand Up Philosopher, is STANDING UP FOR FREEDOM!

A remarkable spoken word performer, Matthew Hammond's unique style echoes philosophy's oral roots as rhetoric, discussion, dramatic monologues and performance lecture all combine with physical storytelling to open out a dazzling window onto philosophy's often forgotten foundations as a spoken word artform and indeed spectator sport.

Join him on a rollercoaster ride spanning 2,000 years, as he performs a love letter to the overused and much-abused concept of 'Freedom' to show it in a new and piercing light. Watch ideas as they are turned into remarkable performance art. Powerful, accessible, startling, sometimes hilarious, often moving, and always inspirational, he jumps about the stage making theatre out of all those books you meant to read but never got around to. Join him - because freedom is worth standing up for!
