One of Manchester’s longest running spoken word events, Verbose, returns on Monday 24th February 2025 at the Kings Arms in Salford after celebrating its tenth birthday in January. Verbose has a proud history of bringing together a vibrant mix of live literature from poetry, prose and everything in between. Verbose welcomes new talent to the open mic alongside established writers and performers wanting to showcase new material, giving audiences the chance to hear work that is on its way to be published or perhaps feature at festivals including Glastonbury, Edinburgh Fringe and many more. Over the years Verbose has hosted writers who have since gone on to win local, national and international awards for their work or feature on national radio and beyond. A night that offers any audience a chance to see an incredible array of talent month in, month out. Introducing our headliners for February Tonks is a local non binary poet, who has been performing up and down the country for nearly a decade, they have played to festival crowds and their favourite gig ever, to one man, his partner and their dog outside Urbis.
