The Brighter Side of Leicester

Phoenix Arts in Leicester will be presenting The Brighter Side with compere Rob Gee this Thursday, January 26th at 8pm. This is an evening of 'upbeat performance poetry reflecting the wealth of talent which exists within users and survivors of Leicester's mental health system'.

For The Brighter Side Leicester-based performance poets, all of whom have experienced some kind of mental health problem in their lives, will offer different perspectives on their experiences with a heady combination of wit and verbal dexterity. Comic, poet and reformed psychiatric nurse Rob Gee will compere the evening, and the performances promise to provide a 'much needed antidote to the social exclusion, stereotyping and stigmatisation that comes with a diagnosis of mental ill health'.

£4 / 2 conc.

Ticket price includes a free special edition of 'Bubble' psychological arts magazine.
