Winner of the 2018 Pleasance Indie for Best Theatre or Family Show at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.
Brilliant, beguiling wordsmithery, swathed in the timeless allure of classic tunes on vinyl.
A delicious sashay through the mysteries and wonders of life and love.

BEAUTIFUL INSPIRING WORDSMITHERY
Toby Thompson is a writer and performer of thoughts and feelings. Not just his own, but somehow yours too. His poetry displays his delight in life’s uncertainties and absurdities and his uniquely rhythmic and musical style is lyrical, beguiling, playful and poignant.
"...easily one of the most gifted young wordsmiths I have ever had the pleasure to encounter... the discipline and confidence of a seasoned pro."
Akala. Rapper & founder of the Hip Hop Shakespeare Company

"…one of the most inspired, powerful poets I've heard in years. …talent and passion that put a lot of older writers to shame. Who knows what primal wellspring he's pulling all this inspiration from, but anyway, world - take notice."
