Live Poetry
Wow your guests with off-the-cuff personalised poetry!
If you’re looking for something completely different for your event, consider live poetry to dazzle your guests.
With a few key pieces of information, I can come up with short yet hilarious poems about anyone in the room.
I’ll then ensure they have a handwritten copy of their poem as a memento of the day as well.

Where can you perform live poetry?
There are several events that would be augmented by having a roaming live poet:
Weddings – keep your guests engaged during the wedding breakfast.
Corporate events – get networking with a poetic twist!
Charity events – raise money by asking subjects to pay ‘a pound for a poem’.
Birthday parties – get guests sharing their experiences with the birthday boy or girl.
Funerals/Wakes – explore the relationship between the deceased and the bereaved with moving poetry.
If you have any other types of event that you think would be augmented by live poetry, give me a shout.
