Tongue Fu

The UK’s sharpest poets, storytellers, rappers and comedians perform with jaw-dropping improvised soundtracks from the genre hopping Tongue Fu Band and animations from design studio CR&D.

Created and hosted by poet Chris Redmond, Tongue Fu is one of the UK’s liveliest and largest spoken word shows: a riotous experiment in live literature, music and improvisation.

For this special show the line-up includes Trainspotting and Acid House author Irvine Welsh, YouTube smashing super-poet Hollie McNish, beatbox and improv legend Beardyman, US and World Slam champ Buddy Wakefield and UK Slam champ Deanna Rodger.
