Brighton Festival Live: Bang Said the Gun

Bang Said the Gun will be live streamed on Sat 20 May, 8pm

Voted the best poetry night in the UK by The Times, Bang Said the Gun is for people who don’t like poetry. Normal rules do not apply here: it’s loud, raucous, political, trivial, serious and very funny.

Bang Said the Gun’s unique brand of stand up poetry has been described by Kate Tempest as ‘like mud wrestling with words’ and by former Poet Laureate Andrew Motion as ‘a vortex of energy and enthusiasm’. Don’t miss a rich mix of the best and freshest talent that will grab you by the collar and drag you into another world.

Featuring Dan Cockrill, Martin Galton, Laurie Bolger & Rob Auton with guests Vanessa Kisuule & Sally Jenkinson.

Filmed and edited in partnership with Brighton Metropolitan College
