Taking over The Edge for one night only on Valentine’s Day, the award-winning renegade spoken word artist and Fringe favourite Luke Wright presents a brand new selection of triumphantly optimistic poems that celebrates the quiet wonder of rhyme, ageing and everyday absurdity.

Hailed as ‘Britain’s finest performance poet’ in Life As Theatre’s sparkling five-star review of his recent smash-shit Silver Jubilee show, Wright returns to the Chorlton institution with a fresh stack of open-hearted verse and trademark lyricism that gleefully illuminates the unique yet unsung happiness of middle age.

Born from Wright’s singular blend of searing wit and tender contemplation, JOY takes aim at everything from consumerism and cancer to abseiling vicars and the transcendent brilliance of language, as the trailblazing raconteur weaves magic from the mundane and promises to leave audiences with a newfound appreciation for the passage of time.

‘A winning combination of honesty, humour, ire and wonder. He is at the peak of his powers.’ ★★★★★ The Stage
