STAND-UP poet, armchair revolutionary and recumbent rocker, Elvis McGonagall will be brandishing his scribbled verse and a glass of malt whiskey at The Courtyard next week.

Elvis is the 2006 World Slam Champion, the compere of the notorious Blue Suede Sporran Club and a regular guest of BBC Radio 4’s Saturday Live.

Also playing during the evening are The Very Grimm Brothers, Adrian Mealing and John Denton. Adrian is a Malvern Poetry Slam Champion and John isn’t. Direct action, blind dates, that side gate, that gun, that conscious uncoupling, and the poetry of raised beds, fridges and tango. This unique night of stand up will be sure to have audiences laughing all the way home.

Elvis McGonagall and The Very Grimm Brothers will be at The Courtyard on Thursday, March 26 at 8pm. To book, call the box office on 01432 340555 or visit courtyard.org.uk
