On Sat 11 Oct, award-winning wordsmith Luke Wright hits The Edge stage once again with a raucous spoken-word celebration of the quintessential British pub, in a live performance brimming with hilarity, affection and boundless imagination.

Fresh from a sell-out national run with his critically acclaimed show JOY!, the Fringe favourite and renegade showman returns to Chorlton with a full-hearted exploration of pint-soaked weekdays in provincial boozers, elevating the mundane into a cavalcade of sticky-floored charm through his trademark lyricism, inventive language and side-splitting storytelling.

Hailed as ‘a winning combination of honesty, humour, ire and wonder’ in The Stage’s glowing five-star review, Pub Grub blends wickedly mischievous rhyme with tender humanity in a razor-sharp showcase that reinforces Wright’s reputation as one of Britain’s leading live poets.
