Luke Wright's Silver Jubilee

Crack out the bunting! It’s Luke Wright’s Silver Jubilee.  

For over twenty-five years, Luke Wright has built up a reputation for being one of Britain’s most popular live poets. He’s sold out shows across the world and regularly tours with John Cooper Clarke and The Libertines. 

This show is an excavation of lives lived and not lived. Wright navigates his audience through a warm and honest hour of poems and stand–up with the directness and pathos that has made him one of the most popular live poets in England. With some wild experiments in form, a nervous kitten called Sir John Betjeman and a healthy smattering of drum n bass, Wright manages to navigate some heart-wrenching material and keep the laughs coming. 

Wright does what a poet does best, and takes a deep dive into himself. What follows is his most confessional show to date.

“Luke is on fire! A poetic interrogation of himself, who he is and where he is from that leaves you tenderised and bruised and with a little something in your eye.” – Mark Thomas

“His performances rumble with rage, passion and humour.” – The Guardian
