TONGUE FU PRESENT – HOT POETS

They’ve rocked Glastonbury and The Roundhouse and after three sell-out performances at Cheltenham, Tongue Fu are back by very popular demand. Bringing together the sharpest poets, storytellers and rappers to perform with improvised soundtracks from the genre-hopping Tongue Fu Band, this is a riotous experiment in live literature, music and improvisation that’s sure to shake up your Saturday night.

Hot Poets is created in partnership between writer & Fu founder, Chris Redmond and poet & participation artist, Liv Torc. Fusing spoken word, improvised music, film, science and bags of hopeful facts, Hot Poets aims to help change the ‘doom narrative’ around climate change and shine many inspiring lights on the amazing work being done around the world.

The Hot Poets Tongue Fu experience will feature live performance from at least five of the amazing Hot Poets who will perform their commissions as part of the show, along with film and live improvised music from the amazing Tongue Fu band. Tongue Fu is one of the UK’s leading spoken word and music shows.

Guest poets announced: Zena Edwards, Francesca Beard, Mohamed Hassan and Liv Torc
