Bang Said The Gun | Stafford MET

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Cock your guns, and prepare to bang because a poetry night the likes you have never seen before comes to the MET Studio Theatre in Stafford this March

Bang Said The Gun is for poetry for people who don’t like poetry. Voted the best poetry night in the UK by the Times, Bang Said The Gun has made poetry cool again.

A rollercoaster of emotions, it’s loud, raucous, political, trivial, serious and very funny. Normal rules do not apply here.

Featuring a rich mix of the best and freshest talent, they will grab you by the collar and drag you into another world.

As recommended by Kate Tempest, ‘It’s like mud wrestling with words’, or as ex poet laureate, Andrew Motion puts it ‘Bang Said The Gun is a vortex of energy and enthusiasm’.

‘Like all the best things in life, Bang Said The Gun is done with commitment, belief and passion.’ Phil Jupitus.

Featuring DAN COCKRILL, MARTIN GALTON, LAURIE BOLGER & ROB AUTON and with special guests JO BELL and lo-fi theatremaker JONNY FLUFFYPUNK this is a night you may remember for a while.

There are also special pricing arrangements for students, (hurrah!) at just £5.50, making this an even greater night of the wildest poetry you will ever experience. So what are you waiting for gunslingers.

Bang Said The Gun rides into town to play the Stafford MET on Sunday 12th March at 8pm
