Pub Poets mission is to host a night where everything from the eclectic to the daring can be shared openly. For this reason, thematically, it isn't a safe space - but it's certainly a warm and inviting one for even the biggest risk takers. This means sometimes, the mood is chilled, subtle and mellow. Sometimes it is loud, rude and crude. One thing we can promise - it's never boring! We have a coll
ective of unique talents who are available for commissions, interviews, opinion pieces - in fact anything you could need a poet for. Many of them just need love and enough money to eat and buy books! ;-)
In other people's words:
"We didn't expect to find such quality in Blackpool!"
"A great night, that's up there with the infamous Jibba Jabba for crowd and atmosphere." "The Pub Poets have fostered a warm community where all are given support, regardless of experience." "Laughed more than I have in a long time." "obscene and debauched"
The rules:
Original Poetry only. No more than 3 minutes without advance permission of the host,
No criticism during performance and only quiet constructive criticism afterwards. No hate speech. Depending how bad it is, we may not stop you - but we're not responsible for your wellbeing if you pull that s**t.
