Main Event: 7-9pm (£4/£7)
Join WORD! With Rob Gee and friends for the premier launch of ‘Everyone Needs a Disco Ball' and put the pop back into poetry!
‘Everybody Needs a Disco Ball’ is a unique collection of poems, published by WORD! Poetry and brought to you by BrightSparks' Comedy Asylum: a team of comedians, writers and people with mental health conditions who create and perform comedy shows.
The poems in this collection have been written by groups of people in a variety of mental health settings. Those in the room contributed ideas, jokes, lines and rhymes, while resident poet, the multi-award winning, Rob Gee - composed the poem in real time. Anyone could join in, and together we created a world where anything could happen...
Get-on down to come together and get on the floor!
