London's branch of the biggest network of slam poetry in the UK is back for a February event, full of community vibes and creative quality. Features this month from Wolverhampton's storyteller and street commentator, Reload, and from Channel 4 / BBC featured rapper-comic, Joe Jacobs. Plus the open mic slam.

JOE JACOBS: London based comedian, rapper and writer. Since 2012, he has performed nationally and internationally, sharing bills with acts including Bill Burr, Stewart Lee and Mr. Motivator. His live shows effortlessly flit between hip hop and comedy and he’s been seen/heard on Channel 4, BBC Radio 4, BBC 6 Music, Radio 1XTRA, plus gained millions of viral video views online. In addition to stand up, as solo artist Jester Jacobs, he’s put out music since his debut Mental Disorder in 2008. In 2017, Joe took Ripe to the Edinburgh Fringe where it received critical acclaim. In 2019, he returned with Grimefulness. Joe has just appeared on Channel 4’s stand up show ClubNite.

RELOAD: Hailing from the West Midlands and residing in London, Reload emerged onto the scene as a game changing urban poet and artist. Championed by some heavyweight names within the industry such as Tim Westwood, Charlie Sloth, Jamal Edwards and DJ Semtex, Reload is steadily building up a significant following. An award winning lyricist known for his storytelling and street-commentary, Reload is able to carefully craft and unfold what is reality for today’s generation, addressing social issues with an urban poetry style.

For this service we charge a small Handling Fee to cover the debit/credit card processing fees, customer services, processing and distribution of tickets and our secure server costs. We always try to keep these costs to an absolute minimum. If you feel at any time that our prices are not fair or competitive we'd be happy to hear from you.

Delivery

If you have ordered physical paper tickets there is a further Delivery cost added to cover the delivery of your order through the Royal Mail network.

We always endeavour to keep these costs as low as possible to merely cover the costs of postage. We only charge you one Delivery cost per order so if there is a big group of you recommend purchasing larger amounts in one order.
