A Lovely Word, downstairs at the Everyman, is Liverpool’s most eclectic poetry night.
It features two halves of open mic poets, and a headliner beginning the first half. Hosted by Alex Ferguson and team, this free event is a fun, relaxed and friendly evening of performance poetry.
Chris Singleton is a performance poet and freelance theatre & spoken word practitioner based in Leeds, UK.
In 2013 he created Crowd Versing – a form of improvisational spoken word where every poem is based on an audience request and performed live, with no pre-planning or writing. He is in the process of developing the form into a full-length live show.
In his work as a practitioner, Chris has more than two years’ experience working with young people and adults with learning disabilities. He runs workshops for the West Yorkshire Playhouse at their centre for young people, and also runs projects and youth theatres for Castaway Goole, Purple Patch Arts, North Yorkshire County Council and charity People in Action.
Chris is a practicing member of Playback Theatre Company, ThreadBear Theatre, and of comedy improvisation troupe Monkeyheads. His main loves in life are dinosaurs, sandwiches and calzones.
