Milk Poetry: Ben Norris & Roisin Crowley Linton
Milk present headliners Ben Norris and Roisin Crowley Linton plus an audience-voted slam.
“Ben Norris is a poet, playwright and actor. He is two-time national poetry slam champion – 2017 BBC Poetry Slam and 2013 UK All-Stars Poetry Slam – and has appeared everywhere from Latitude Festival to the Proms at the Royal Albert Hall. His debut solo show, ‘The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Family’, won the 2015 IdeasTap Underbelly Award at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival before touring the UK and Australia, and his first short film, commissioned by Channel 4, was nominated for a Royal Television Society Award. He has also written commissions for BBC Radio 4, Southbank Centre, IdeasTap, and Ditch the Label, among others, and was recently writer-in-residence at Theatr Clwyd. His second pamphlet of poems, some ending, is published May 2019 with Verve Poetry Press.
“Roisin Crowley Linton is a poet, comedian and general gobshite from Newcastle but currently based in Bristol. She’s been described as “a force of nature – fierce, funny and ever so slightly opinionated” by not only her mam, but also a reviewer. Her gutsy poems are all about whatever she was thinking about at 3am when she couldn’t sleep, so that’d be mainly feminism, boys she fancies and her pals.”
