THE ONLY Edinburgh preview show to not only take place AFTER OUR EDINBURGH SHOW HAS FINISHED, but also featuring NONE OF THE ACTS WHO WERE ON IN EDINBURGH. Yes, due to circumstances beyond ‘Utter!’s control (the closure of our venue the Cross Kings, and chronic heart failure), this is the second time we’ve had to move the preview – back to our old home, fantastic and intimate venue the Green Note in Camden. Special guest host GEORGE CHOPPING, previous ‘Utter!’ Paid Gig contest final 2008 WINNER and host of gigs in Oxford and further abroad with poems and haiku on shit towns and illness, amongst other things. Engaging, sarcastic, funny and looks a bit like Doctor Who, but his material has less plot holes. ABI PALMER, previous Paid Gig contest winner with raps about Philosophers, sexiness and invisible disabilities PAUL LYALLS, host of one of London’s longest-running and best-loved nights ‘Express Excess’ and host of BBc TV’s ‘Big Slam Poetry House’, reading from his witty debut collection ‘Catching the cascade’. ‘A gifted poet…his work is witty, well constructed and well delivered.’ – The Stage MARK NIEL, charismatic head honcho of Milton Keynes’s popular spoken word show and writing group TONGUE IN CHIC, editor of their anthology Tales from Mirror City and serial slam-winner. A mild-mannered Clark Kent who transforms on stage into a slightly portly poetic superman.
