STAND-UP poet, comedian and broadcaster, Elvis McGonagall, will take to the stage at the Merlin on Saturday 27th November. And supporting him is Frome spoken word artist, Liv Torc.
Elvis is the 2006 World Poetry Slam Champion, features regularly on TV and performs at literary and music festivals, comedy and cabaret clubs, pubs and dodgy dives up and down the country and abroad, including appearances at Edinburgh Fringe and Glastonbury festival.
Liv Torc is a spoken word artist and producer who ‘plunders the vast caverns and dormant volcanoes of the human and planetary condition’. She is a Radio 4 Slam Winner, a former Bard of Exeter, host of the Rainbow Fish Speakeasy and current co-host of the Hip Yak Poetry Shack.
Liv is lead artist in Take Art’s long running social prescribing and poetry project Word/Play and she specialises in facilitating spaces for vulnerable adults. She runs Haiflu, the Hip Yak Poetry School, Hot Poets and the spoken word stage at WOMAD.
There will also be a chance to meet Elvis after the show, to buy books and have them signed.
