Audience Reviews

" I loved this show - Clever, witty, sometimes reflective - I loved all the observation, in particular the Wine Man. If you are looking for a show of quality - then you couldn't go wrong with this - brilliant. Five stars from me." - Susan

"I had a blast watching Macpherson's show, it's a marvel to see an artist pour so much love into their craft. I loved the concept of choosing poems off the wall, and I loved their variety even more. Lovers of spoken word, please go and witness it yourselves!" - Panos

"With an eloquent voice and a sensitivity that lingered long after the final line, Ben delivered poems that tickled the funny bone, tugged at the heartstrings, and teased at places best left unmentioned in polite reviews. His natural charm and easy rapport with the audience created a joyous, engaging atmosphere. Smashing. 5/5" - Anonymous
