Brian Bilston and Henry Normal appear together for the first time in a show which one critic has described as 'two people reading some poems'.
Along the way, they will be drawing on their vast catalogue of crowd favourites - and throwing in new poems, to prevent becoming their own tribute bands.
Not ones to overpromise, Brian and Henry are prepared to commit to delivering the greatest poetry show in the history of the world: an evening of poems to be enjoyed, not endured.
Brian Bilston has been described as the Banksy of poetry and Twitter's unofficial Poet Laureate. With over 200,000 followers on social media, Brian has become truly beloved by the online community.
Henry Normal is a writer, poet, TV and film producer, founder of the Manchester Poetry Festival (now the Literature Festival) and co-founder of the Nottingham Poetry Festival.
Recommended age: 14+. Please note that this performance contains some swearing and light sexual references.
Duration: approx. 2 hours 20 mins (incl. interval)
