Created by Mr Gee (Radio 4's Bespoken Word and Rhyme & Reason), Chill Pill is a laid-back poetry night where up and coming poets share the stage with some of the finest spoken word acts in the UK.

Mr Gee

Mr Gee started out as a hiphop and funk DJ, before getting involved in London's underground poetry scene. Hosting the highly acclaimed spoken work night 'Brix-Tongue' led to him becoming a radio presenter. He has been the main host for various spoken word shows, as well as a guest on comedian Russell Brand's BBC radio show. He also writes comedy for TV, film and radio, as well as current affairs poems for BBC radio.

Simon Mole

Simon Mole is an emcee and spoken word artist whose writing and performance foregrounds the unseen and the unheard, the forgotten and the yet to occur. He makes passionate and honest music exploring concepts and ideas from outside the standard spectrum of hip hop content, and his poems are shared with listeners in a way that pushes them to make their own meanings and connections.
