Gary From Leeds – Garibaldi

Gary's hair is long gone – now his name is under threat. The fightback possible begins here. Join this lanky northerner and his bereft bonce for an anarchic hour treading the fine lines between miserable and uplifting, poetry and karaoke.

Katie Bonna – All The Things I’ve Lied About

Award winning writer performer Katie Bonna is doing a TED talk on our passion for dishonesty and the science of lies. Sort of. TED haven't actually invited her to speak - yet. From tricking her sister into drinking her wee to brutal infidelities, Katie charts her family history to confront humanity’s obsession with fibbing. All The Things I Lied About is a comic exploration of the lies that broke up Katie's family and what she’s going to do about them in the face of apparently being a grown-up. Armed with research on what drives us all to lie, Katie believes that she can live more honestly - if only she could stop fibbing about everything. Part poetry, part comedy – mostly lies.

Ben Fagan – Fashion Statements

A stylish spoken word show from an unstylish Kiwi who found himself working at a high end London retail store. With trademark wit and wisdom Ben shares stories of the bizarre and hilarious antics of super wealthy clients, the ethics of a floundering industry and personal anecdotes about the famous figures that stepped instore. Ben has now settled in London after taking a solo show to Edinburgh Fringe last year.
