Stand-Up Monkey Poet!

Stand-Up Monkey Poet, Laughing Horse @ The Argyle (Venue 348) 20.30 6th - 30th August (Free)

This is how poetry should be done.

This was a lively and energetic performance which mixed fabulous poetry with stories and comedy. Maybe I am biased because I do really love good poetry, and Monkey Poet gives good poetry.

No subject is untouchable, and this show is highly charged in all the right ways.

I was even impressed by the way Monkey Poet dealt with the talkers in the back that just would not shut up.

I think the only reason that for me this was not a five star performance was that once or twice, words were momentarily forgotten.

We all know how harsh I am!

My vote: 4*
