Don’t miss the next fantastic show from Scotland’s premiere spoken word night!
For over ten years, Loud Poets has been showcasing the best spoken word poetry from Scotland and beyond. Expect fist-thumping, heart-wrenching, side-tickling poetry performances with live musical accompaniment from Jack Hinks.
Our April 30 Showcase line-up features touring poet and 2022-24 Birmingham Poet Laureate Jasmine Gardosi, Bad Betty's Jake WIld Hall, and Edinburgh-based poets Beth Rose and Natalie Elizabeth.
“Loud Poets is tearing up the landscape, bringing the ancient art to contemporary audiences – spreading mirth, giggles and talent along the way.” - Corr Blimey
“Go listen to Loud Poets and hear them say the things you’ve been trying to say yourself.” - Shane Koyczan
“There’s a humour, poignancy and most of all confidence which serves to inspire.” - Scotsman
