The Third Door,
Lothian Street
Featuring Raymond Antrobus
This month, we’re once more bringing
you one of the top spoken word performers around. Raymond Antrobus
is a
powerhouse of poetry in London, where he co-organises one of the
capital's top
nights, Chill Pill, at the Albany and Soho Theatres. He has performed
alongside authors and poets such as Margret Atwood, Lemm Sissay,
Polarbear and Inua
Ellams, is the International Farrago Slam Champion 2008, and won Best
Performance by a London Poet at the Farrago Zoo Awards 2010. He's toured
Germany, America, South Africa and further afield, and we're proud to be
hosting his first feature in Scotland.

The Inky Fingers Open Mic takes place
on the fourth Tuesday of the month, from 8-11pm. It’s free to come and free for
anyone to perform, regardless of style, experience, or identity. We want to
hear from everybody, and we want to support everybody in performing for a friendly
audience. We want your poems, your rants, your ballads, your short stories,
your diaries, your experimental texts, your heart, your mind, your body. We
want the essay on your summer holidays you wrote when you were four, your
adolescent haiku, and extracts from your eventually-to-be-completed epic
fantasy quadrilogy. We want to hear your best new work as well. And we want
people to care about the way words are performed.
As well as the open mic, each night
features top performers from the UK and further afield: we bring you the best
in poetry, storytelling, fiction, and everything else that involves putting
beautiful words in a beautiful order!
Spaces to perform are limited, so please

to reserve a space.
