RUN YOUR TONGUE

We are now hosting live events again at Leicester Contemporary, a new art gallery in Leicester City Centre, as well as online events via Zoom.

Please check our Facebook page for dates.
 

​

The night runs as an open mic night where anything goes, within reason.  Poems, stories, songs, jokes are all actively encouraged. Everyone gets five minutes to do their thing, with musicians being allowed to perform two songs.  We also invite some of the best spoken word artists in the country to come and headline for us (see below).
