An Evening With John Cooper Clarke
Music
Spoken Word
In a vain attempt at bourgeois credibility, Manchester's sharp-dressed, sharp-delivering punk poet Lenny, changed his name to John Cooper Clarke and embarked on a polysyllabic excursion though Thrillsville. Clad in the slum chic of the hipster, he issued the slang anthems of the zip age in the desperate esperanto of bop. Expect a mix of hilarious anecdotes of life in a Northern town interspersed with machine-gun fast delivery of some of his best poems.
'If you think poetry is dull and boring, or posh and erudite - you haven't seen JCC!'
Under 14’s must be accompanied by an adult. Bar open from 7pm.

Introduction
Founded in 1990 to provide cultural facilities for young people in Cambridge, I currently work with a number of organisations.
These include Cambridgeshire Youth Dance Comapny (CYDC), Classworks, Dance Offensive and Sin Cru to offer young people opportunities to take part in, and develop their skills in theatre and dance, and create and present performances, as well as running our own classes and special projects.
I also host a regular programme of term-time weekly workshops complemented by additional activities during the holidays.
