Schedule
Tue Oct 28 2025 at 08:00 pm to 10:30 pm
UTC+00:00Location
The Toad in the Hole, Worthing | Worthing, EN
Evening of poetry and doggerel exploring melancholy, existential woe and dark humour.
PERFORMERS:
GARY GOODMAN
Poems to make your heart shrivel like a dried- up prune
DANIEL SEARLE
Daniel Searle usually writes about geese, underpants, and depressing office lunches. For Darkfest he'll instead be reading out a very long apocalyptic poem or two that pinpoint exactly who's to blame for this shitshow, with occasional references to Dick and Dom.
COLM CREATING SWEET
Dark with a sprinkling of Dada and a hint of Desperation.
NIAMH
"My poetry is full of yearning . It’s dramatic but completely ridiculous at times as i merge a lexis of death and romance. I write about my boyfriend being dead . A lot. He’s alive and well…. Think Keats meets wannabe angst."
E.J. HAMILTON
Poetry spoken by a man with a beard.
BAMBI GOODMAN
Poems about sex, impotent rage and heartbreak.
