Old Red Lion Theatre Club, St John's Street, Clerkenwell, EC1V 4NJ

Comedy: , Poetry

How Much: £16.00 (Tickets)

Undoubtedly one of the best young performance poets in the UK, 4 Talent Award Winner and Aisle16 founder Luke Wright brings his latest show to the Old Red Lion Theatre.

Set against a backdrop of grotty Travelodges and London stages, Wright tells the story of his last ten years behind the mic. Featuring some embarrassingly bad teenage lyrics and the death of a very tight pair of jeans, he combines comedy and poetry to convey how he saw past his own irritating ego to find what really matters.

See alongside Ross Sutherland: The Three Stigmata of Pacman (9pm) for £16.
