About this Event
Join us for an eclectic evening of music, poetry and storytelling at The Wardrobe Theatre brought to you by Eggnog; a collaboration between Milk, Tonic & Story Slam.
Find herein: vim, verse and verve; a recipe of creativity centred around the theme of ‘Miracles’ that will warm your cockles, tickle your funny bones & whet your whistle all in the name of raising funds towards the Pakistan flood relief appeal.
Featuring live music from Roberta Pia, poetry from Chris White and stories from Story Slam’s finest raconteurs & open mic slots.
Performers:
ROBERTA PIA
As soon as Robereta was old enough to walk, she used to take herself to bed with a Fisher Price cassette player every night and sing herself to sleep. She’s still singing to this day. She also writes songs, performs them on stage, and DJs when she gets bored of that. Originally from Scotland, she has since made Bristol her forever home.
Co-founder of The Banana Sessions and queer collective Grrrl Crush - championing women, non binary and LGBTQ+ people in music and beyond - she’s blazed the festival trail across the UK and Europe, from the Edinburgh Fringe to Glastonbury; DJed for Charlotte Church’s Late Night Pop Dungeon & Baga Chipz (Ru Paul’s Drag Race UK); and did an online collaboration with KT Tunstall.
CHRIS WHITE
Chris White is a poet and performer based in Exeter. He’s a multiple slam winner, a former ‘Bard of Exeter,’ and Exeter Cathedral’s first Riddler in Residence. He regularly creates and performs spoken-word and theatre, and has brought his work to nights and festivals from Latitude to Tongue Fu. He's also the founder and host of Spork! Poetry CIC, producing regular events in Exeter and across Devon.
