The Worst Poets Club brings together four poets at The Queen's Hall in Edinburgh on 18 October 2026. The performers are Hollie McNish, Donna Ashworth, Nikita Gill and Len Pennie. Tickets are priced at £22.50.
The Worst Poets Club with Hollie McNish brings together four of the biggest names in poetry in the UK. After a decade of headlines, articles, comments and occasional strangers in person have claimed them as the worst poets, most terrible, mediocre, not even a poet poets, individually and collectively to blame for the downfall of modern poetry, Hollie McNish, Nikita Gill, Donna Ashworth and Len Pennie have come together to form The Worst Poets Club. For two nights only, in London and Edinburgh, please come and join four of the UK's bestselling but worst poets together on stage to read from their latest and most-cherished collections, to chat and to celebrate being rubbish at what they love. 50% of the artist fees will be donated to the National Literacy Trust, in the hope that the future generations of young, budding writers will not be a bad as them.
