Spoken word with Scroobius Pip at Ruby Lounge

Some may know him as the bearded half of dynamic hip-hop duo Dan Le Sac vs. Scroobius Pip, others for his debut solo work on Distraction Pieces. But when he’s not rapping over electronic beats, Pip takes a leading role in the UK’s spoken word scene. After a highly successful 60-minute set at Latitude earlier this year, he’s taking his sharp wit and dexterous verses on tour around the UK. Tackling a trying 13 shows in 13 days, Scroobius Pip – with bold support from PolarBear and Kate Tempest – stops over at the Ruby Lounge this December in a show that promises to be a special  live experience.

Tue 4 Dec, Ruby Lounge, 32A High Street, M4 1QD. Tel: 0161 834 1392. 7.30pm, £10, www.ticketline.co.uk
