Admin

Funny, horrible and just a little bit naughty, purveyor of playful poetry, Ben Macpherson (BBC Radio 4, BBC Radio 2), returns to the Fringe with this perfect gateway into the afternoon through poems and stories for all ages. Delight at the awful adults, beastly brats and curious creatures from this verbal tour de force. Ben's poetry easily sets itself among the likes of Roald Dahl, Spike Milligan and Hilaire Belloc with equal parts magic and mischief that will leave you chuckling long after its final rhyme. 'Full of humour and drive' (Michael Rosen). 'Dizzyingly, dazzlingly brilliant' (Brian Bilston).

"This year I am later in the day and hopeful it's going to make all the difference. I'm also going to be going for a wider variety of guest spots during the day too."
