Poet Brian Bilston brings his new book to the stage for an evening of comedy and poetry reading.
Brian Bilston is coming to the Exeter Corn Exchange on Saturday 21 November, bringing his new book How to Lay an Egg with a Horse Inside to the stage. It's a comedy and poetry evening, and Bilston will be walking the audience through the hows, whys and whats of reading, writing and enjoying poetry every day.
If you've come across him on social media, you'll know why he's one of the UK's most popular poets — he's got more than 500,000 followers and a string of sell-out shows behind him. He's published several bestselling collections, including You Took the Last Bus Home, Alexa, what is there to know about love? and Days Like These, and his novel Diary of a Somebody was shortlisted for the Costa First Novel Award. He's also written poetry for younger readers, so his work reaches a fair few different audiences.
Last year he stepped into music with Sounds Made by Humans, an album of his poetry set to music in collaboration with The Catenary Wires. This autumn he's back on stage with the new book, How to Lay an Egg with a Horse Inside, and the night is built around it.
