Luke Wright’s Silver Jubilee

Over twenty five years, Luke Wright has built up a reputation for being one of Britain’s most popular live poets. He’s sold out shows across the world and regularly tours with John Cooper Clarke and The Libertines.

Wright was adopted as a baby and grew up believing that his adoption ‘wasn’t a big thing.‘ But one night he idly stumbled across his birth mother on Facebook. This window to a world that might have been his has thrown up deep questions about privilege, familial love, and destiny.

This show is an excavation of lives lived and not lived. Wright navigates his audience through a warm and honest hour of poems and stand up with his distinctive directness and poignancy. With some wild experiments in form, a nervous kitten called Sir John Betjeman and a healthy smattering of drum n bass, Wright promises to navigate some heart-wrenching material and keep the laughs coming.
