Nathan Penlington's new solo stand-up poetry show has just been confirmed, and will run at the Pleasance Jokerdome from 3rd - 29th August.


If my life hadn't turned out differently

We have all wondered how our lives would be if we'd made different choices. Moved to a different town. Worked in a different job. Made different friends. Fallen in love with someone else.



But very few of us ask ourselves, 'What if my life hadn't turned out differently?'



Nathan Penlington, one of Britain’s new generation of stand-up poets explores life’s forgotten Kodak™ moments - our very own personal histories that make us who we are - seamlessly fusing comedy, poetry and storytelling with writing that is intelligent, accessible and entertaining.



If my life hadn't turned out differently is a unique and original spokenword show.


‘A natural performer, witty, inventive, stylish and original’ - Rob Newman


‘A young turn of promise’ – John Hegley



'An act truly worthy of praise' - Three Weeks


3-29 (not 16) August @ 4.00pm (show runs 1 hour)
