WORD LAB - 16th Oct - 19.30-22.00

£6.00

Hosted by Jonny Fluffypunk & Uta Baldauf with Georgia Griffiths, Nick Degg + open mic. Held at Trinity Rooms.

Georgia Griffiths is a spoken word artist from Merthyr Tydfil, South Wales. Blending rhythm, storytelling and social observation, her work explores characters, politics, mental health, and working-class life. The 2025 Glastonbury Poetry Slam winner and 2026 England Slam Champion, she has performed on stages across the UK and internationally, representing the UK at the World Poetry Slam Paris. She is currently touring her debut collection; Life Imitates The Heart.

Nick Degg is the 2025 Stoke on Trent Poet Laureate who takes his inspiration from the wrung-out dishcloths of everyday life, childhood memories and the grit and graft of the working class environs that surrounded his upbringing. He’s certainly no shrinking Violet, rattling off 100mph tongue twisters with a powerful clarity, or having the confidence to do love poems at barely more than a whisper to a crowded room. He released a CD “Harping on about stuff” in 2021, and currently has four books, “A cup of teeth”, “I come from a town” (Dream Well Writing) and twin publications “Chalk & Chaze”.
