Part poetry, part stand-up show by Fringe First winner Luke Wright about changing your mind without losing your convictions.
Luke Wright brings his new show Yes to Salisbury Arts Centre on Friday 19 February 2027, starting at 7:30pm. It's a hybrid of poetry and stand-up, and it's built around a single, fairly uncomfortable idea: changing your mind.
Wright's been writing poems that wrestle with the world around him for twenty-five years, and Yes comes from a place of admitting that certainty isn't as useful as he once thought. He talks about heroes becoming more complicated and old certainties beginning to wobble. The show is about changing your mind without losing your convictions, and about staying open in a world that feels increasingly entrenched. It's part poetry, part stand-up, and it's as much about the process of thinking as it is about the things he's thinking about.
He's no stranger to the stage — he's a Fringe First winner, and the show has picked up some strong reviews along the way. The Stage gave it five stars and called him 'at the peak of his powers', while The Scotsman gave it four. It does contain some strong language, so keep that in mind if you're bringing anyone who might be sensitive to it.
