Headline Act Lateral G:
Lateral G continues to age backwards, according to her friends. Her party animal lifestyle provides odd material for her current set, along with some thoughts about love, for a change. How relatable!
She's still quirky, lives in a lorry and her wild experiences make for good stories. Wait till you hear about the mugging!
Feature Act Phoebe Raven:
Phoebe Schlesinger aka Phoebe Raven has been writing ever since she could hold a pen.
Born and raised in Germany, genetically half Italian, she also spent time living in the USA, before settling in Nottingham over a decade ago – and traces of this heritage and journey are reflected in her poetry and creative writing as a whole.
She only started performing publicly in the Summer of 2025, but has no intention of stopping.
She is fascinated by the human experience, curiously digging away at emotions, thoughts, and events in the everlasting attempt to arrive at tiny, universal kernels of truth that resonate and connect us all. She takes what is raw and messy and cuts through it with familiar words, condensing the everyday into relatable verses that carry weight, all while sprinkling in the odd mid-line rhyme or existential question here and there.
