Andy Riley & Friends – Spoken Word

A lineup of quality poets and storytellers that’ll make you laugh, cry, and think. Last time this lineup performed at HotBox, the event was sold out well in advance, so grab a ticket while you can!

***Andy Riley***

Andy Riley is hilarious! He’s written for a whole host of comedy shows, including Big Train, Smack The Pony, Armstrong and Miller, Black Books, Spitting Image, The Armando Iannucci Show, Veep, Trigger Happy TV etc. He’s won not only a BAFTA, but an Emmy as well, and is the creator, author and artist of the Bunny Suicides cartoon books, and co-wrote the Ardman animated film, The Pirates! Expect hilarious micro-stories and laughs aplenty from a man that has been involved some of the greatest comedies EVER!

***James Domestic***

Domestic has been wowing crowds across the country with his quirky, funny, and often poignant observations on the minutiae of everyday life. With several books to his name, he’s supported poetry legends such as Luke Wright, Attila the Stockbroker and Mark Grist, and has received plaudits from poets and musicians alike. His work has been compared to John Cooper Clarke, Ivor Cutler, Spike Milligan, Bejamin Zephaniah, and Ian Dury.

***Leon The Poet***

Leon The Poet has been making a name for himself on the East Anglian scene with his sometimes tender, and often amusing words. His debut collection of poetry, “Sometimes I’m The Bull, Sometimes I’m The China Shop’, takes a big swing at life in the twenty-twenties.

***Laura Bradley***

A star in the making! Laura – by her own admission – dresses like a toddler, but is a high calibre performer of words that’ll make you think and most likely snort yourself silly with laughter.
