Leicester’s premier spoken word and poetry event consists of an open mic, professional act and regular pool of chipper comperes.

Joolz Denby performs in January. Joolz is a highly acclaimed professional writer, spoken-word artist, photographer and illustrator noted particularly for her dramatic and emotive performances and the musical quality of her voice. ‘The Queen of British Spoken-word’ has performed in venues as widely-varied as they are impressive: The Royal Albert Hall, the House of Commons and a number of festivals to name but a few. Don't miss her at The Y.

WORD! is on the first Tuesday of each month. Poets wishing to perform should arrive at 7.30pm and register with the compere. For more information, please contact Lydia Towsey: secretagentartist@hotmail.com
