GREG BYRON: #StandUp Poet
“Like watching John Cooper Clarke snog John Hegley while Pam Ayres watches" - BBC Radio
Writer/Performer of original Spoken Word and host of the #StandUpPoet podcast on iTunes, Spotify etc…
Funny, witty, outraged, plain silly, sometimes just poignant or cathartic, but always “keeps you constantly engaged” (Kansas City Star, USA) delivering verses on life, the universe and everything (ish)… Verses inspired by modern day and social comment performed with a twinkle, a laugh, and a wry pointy finger! Plus sporadic anecdotes, wit, and his unique 55-word stories.
Greg has performed in theatres, bookshops, on beaches, under the stars, in tents, village halls, restaurants and bars in the UK, USA, Australia, New Zealand and Japan...
