Edinburgh
The Inky Fingers Open Mic takes place every
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. 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.
This month we’re bringing back for your
delight the hugely popular Richard
Tyrone Jones, impressario of Utter and owner of a very big heart. He’ll be previewing material from his new show
about near-near death from dilated cardiomyopathy, which turns out to be a lot
funnier (and even more heart-breaking) that it sounds.
‘Fascinating, sobering,
hilarious, and ultimately uplifting’ New Scientist; ‘Masterfully manages the
listeners’ mood as it oscillates between laughter and despair. Highly
recommended.’ **** Fringe Guru
NOTE: WE’VE MOVED! We’re still part of the
amazing Lothian St project, but we’ve moved upstairs to Negociants, where
you’ll find a cosier atmosphere, better seats, and good light to read by.
Open Mic slots are five minutes long;
