Dark times need bright words, so join SoapBox for a special 'EmpowerUs' edition of Words & Verses, our monthly, free spoken word open mic. Bring and/or write poems/stories/jokes that uplift, motivate, empower and celebrate this world we share.
Usual wordy shenanigans, poetry, spoken word, storytelling, comedy, rap and more. Roughly 5 minutes each (though we'll go round again if there is space/time). Sign up on the day, or email tobook a spot if you're travelling or it helps you feel comfortable. [email protected]
Hosted by Amy Wragg, the Eastern region's longest running poetry producer, promoter and organiser.
Proudly brought to you by SoapBox Spoken Word CIC, the only legally registered spoken word non-profit company across the East. SoapBox (as an idea) started in 2006, so we have been creating fantastic, inclusive and authetic poetry events for 19 years.
Words & Verses is our longest running event, starting in 2012 at The Spread Eagle and taking place monthly, it was Ipswich's first dedicated & regular spoken word open mic, rapidly approaching our 100th edition! We are delighted that W&V is no longer the only poetry event in town, and adore how vibrant our local spoken word community is.
Amy Wragg is trained in safeguarding, has a full DBS, and is insured as an artist to deliver work.
All welcome (18+ venue). Please continue to support this amazing pub that has hosted us for so long. We love them.
