    Headlined by THICK RICHARD… 

    Thick Richard

    He's been pedalling his potty-mouthed poems at festivals & clubs up and down the land since 1999. His cynical, lyrical, jet-black humour, intelligent wordplay, well-crafted verse, and well-targeted comic attacks have earned him much respect from artists and audiences from Edinburgh to Glastonbury. He has supported Kae Tempest, The Fall, Jerry Sadowitz, John Hegley, & Frank Sidebottom. Thick Richard and performed on BBC 6 Music. He had a sell-out tour of his solo show “Swear School and has two poetry collections published with Flapjack Press, "Vaudavillian" &"Read Em and Weep".

    “Thick Richard’s poems remind you of things you’d forgotten were true. His words are rattling and brilliant and shoot life back at you in all its futility and chaos and wonder.” Kae Tempest- Poet

    "I like a bit of fun, but this is ridiculous... Stu-fucking-pendous!" John Cooper Clarke (Poet)
