Comedy poetry WIP double header in Southampton - Saturday 15th March

Comedy poetry WIP double header near me in Totton, Southampton at The Attic 2  Saturday 15th March

Get ready for non-stop laughter and wordplay as two brilliant Hampshire poets bring their works-in-progress to the stage in this unmissable Saturday afternoon double-header for just £5!

Rich Lansley and PG Trips, introduced by local poetic legend SM Ripper.

“A Hundred Small Things”: Rich Lansley’s show is for people who appreciate the small things in life. Join him in celebrating the overlooked, the ordinary, and the tiny miracles hiding in plain sight. It's about zooming in on life's details-the mundane objects, fleeting moments, and quiet joys that hold unexpected depth. The show is a mix of humour, whimsy, and heartfelt reflection, aiming to turn the audience's perspective on the everyday into something extraordinary.

“Infusion” : PG Trips’ show pours hot water on the dried leaves of silliness, brewing up a refreshing pot of laughter to reinvigorate the sorriest of mugs.

As we close out the first quarter of the twenty-first century, PG helps us navigate the pressing issues of our time: surveying all the places that hair grows, documenting what happens when the Queen comes to tea, and comprehensively listing the things that you shouldn’t wipe your bottom with. If your bag is complete nonsense, PG is just your cuppa.

SM Ripper is a joyfully original and chaotically uplifting poet and host with over 13 years experience playing with language in the beautiful game of live poetry. Performing at every stage from Boomtown to Bestival, Bournemouth to Basingstoke, the Bard of Shirley invites you to make some noise.
