Tongue Fu plus Writing Competition Celebration

Expect the unexpected at Tongue Fu – a thrilling collision of live band improvisation, comedy poetry and spoken word, where anything can happen.

Poets, writers and storytellers perform live, amplified by the quick-witted Tongue Fu band, with special Writing Festival guests and performances from our competition winners. One of the UK’s leading spoken word and music shows for over 18 years, Tongue Fu is part gig, part experiment: high-energy, big-hearted and wildly entertaining.

Hosted by Chris Redmond, with special guests Jonny Fluffypunk and Vanessa Kisuule, plus musicians whose credits include Damon Albarn, Massive Attack, Jamie Cullum and Gregory Porter.
