Over 25 years, Luke Wright has built up a reputation for being one of Britain's most popular live poets. He has won an unprecedented 4 Saboteur Awards, a Stage Award, and a Fringe First. He's sold out shows across the world and regularly tours with John Cooper Clarke.
Following the smash hit success of his Silver Jubilee show ("the best thing he's done and that's saying something." Telegraph) Luke Wright returns with a new set of poems that get to grips with the idea of JOY. Is it possible, as a 42 year old to feel pure unbridled happiness, and what does it look like?
Luke writes urgently and warmly about family, fatherhood, and the joy of language itself. We might have to go down to come up, but we'll get there in the end. Come let a little joy into your life with a raconteur and wordsmith at the top of his game.
