SproutSpoken does Helston!
A night of open-mic spoken word with guest feature from Chris White.
[please note that if you’re booking as an open-mic participant, click here]
After previous pop-ups in Bodmin, Looe and Bude, this time SproutSpoken lands in Helston with a night of poetry and spoken word that serves up a wholesome helping of the heartfelt together with a whopping wedge of the whimsical.
SproutSpoken open-mic nights provide the perfect platform for wordsmiths of all shapes and sizes to get their work ‘up on their feet’ in the company of an audience.
Along the way, Dicky brings his own brand of warm and welcoming hosting and – at this pop up – SproutSpoken favourite Chris White will be turning in a guest feature spot to top the night off.
Sign up to the open-mic and share your words: whether it’s your first time or you’re a regular, there are bags of support and encouragement. If you’re taking part, entrance is free – you just need to book an open-mic participant ticket here and include a few details about yourself when you checkout.
Chris is a multiple slam winning poet, who regularly performs his silly, surreal work at nights and festivals from Tongue Fu to WOMAD. He’s a theatre maker, a former ‘Bard of Exeter’, was the first ‘Riddler in Residence’ at Exeter Cathedral and has appeared numerous times with SproutSpoken. Chris is also the founder, host and lead producer for spoken word organisation “Spork” based in Exeter.

What do I need to know?
Due to the expressive nature of spoken word as an artistic form, it is likely that the evening will cover a wide variety of themes, some of which may be triggering for some people. Furthermore, because part of the evening entails an open-mic format, it is impossible to warn audiences prior to them considering attendance. Please consider this as you make your booking and please feel free to get in touch if you would like to discuss further.
Recommended age 16+.
We estimate a run time of approximately 75 minutes including an interval.
