About this event
Dr John Cooper Clarke, the original punk poet and one of Britain’s most singular voices, brings his sharp wit, rapid-fire delivery and unshakeable charm back to the stage. Fresh from becoming the first poet to headline a UK arena, he arrives with brand-new work from his forthcoming collection Have It , alongside the biting classics and crowd favourites that have made him a cultural icon. From acerbic social commentary to laugh-out-loud storytelling, Clarke’s live shows are electric, unpredictable and unmistakably him – a rare chance to see a true original at full force. Join the Bard of Salford for an evening of poetry, humour and unapologetic personality.
