Brian Bilston
A slow-burn, underground jangle pop night.
One of the UK’s most popular poets, Brian Bilston returns to the stage following the release of his latest book, How to Lay an Egg with a Horse Inside. Known for his massive social media presence and bestselling collections such as You Took the Last Bus Home and Alexa, what is there to know about love?, Bilston offers an evening of comedy and laughter. The performance explores the nuances of reading, writing, and enjoying poetry. In 2025, he also released Sounds Made by Humans, an album of his poetry set to music in collaboration with The Catenary Wires.
