Settle Down by stand-up poet Angie Belcher

On Sunday June 1st at 7.30 Kidderminster Creatives present Settle Down by stand-up poet Angie Belcher, an Edinburgh preview in the intimate surroundings of the Boars Head Gallery surrounded by the latest art exhibition.

Settle Down is a poetic romp of dirty stanzas and awkward observations about approaching 40 via agnosticism, angry computers and puppies vs boys. Angie Belcher is a Bristol based stand-up poet whose live work is fruity and not for the feint-hearted. An accomplished comedy actor and writer, she has performed and written for screen and radio with her energetic style. “Funny, crude and incredibly charming” Word of Mouth  “Like Pam Ayres with attitude and an adult audience” Bristol Evening Post.

There will also be a 20 minute support slot by poet/musician Heather Wastie

Tickets are £3.00 on the door - Boars Head, 39 Worcester Street, Kidderminster DY10 1EW. Unfortunately the venue is not wheelchair accessible.
