‘Fans of Morrissey, Jarvis Cocker and Simon Armitage will recognise Nathan Penlington’s whimsical poetic evocations from the North of the Watford gap. He points out he’s not a comedian, but there’s humour which touches the same place, and he has the talent with words to successfully open his horizons in future’ – The List

‘This is stand up poetry, but, as you might guess from the title, it has little in common with Eminem or Murray Lachlan Young. Indeed, Nathan Penlington begins with an amusing musical piece that debunking the myth that poets live, or think they live, a rock’n’roll lifestyle. And although he is skinny and wears spectacles, Penlington is also not a younger version of John Hegley…this is a selection of intriguing and quite daring free verse leavened with gentle, self-effacing chit-chat and even a little magic…Penlington clearly knows that real poetry can work better in small doses, particularly when placed in a light hearted context’ – Metro


 


‘fantastic’ – Three Weeks
