The Poetry Brothel is a sanctuary for the misfits, the dreamers, the beautifully strange souls of London. In this idiosyncratic temple, you'll encounter a cast of characters birthed from the deepest corners of our poets' minds. For a modest token, our poets will invite you into their worlds, offering a one-on-one experience that is uniquely yours - a taste of genuine connection, a glimpse into the raw and untamed heart of humanity, delivered through poetry that is as experimental as it is intimate, as messy as it is real.

FEED THE FIRE WITH MY FEAR

Step into a realm where shadows dance with truth, and every word peels back the layers of our collective anxieties. At this immersive spoken word event, poets beckon you into a labyrinth of thought, where personal and collective dreads intertwine, where the world and its illusions are delicately unraveled. Here, fear is both a mirror and a mask—a force that shapes, binds, and distorts. Yet, within the verses lies a challenge: to confront the abyss, to find authenticity amidst chaos, and to reclaim the fragmented self. This night is not just a performance but a philosophical journey, a ritual of words that invites you to question the narratives you hold dear and to discover what lies beyond the veil of fear.

    I love the concept of poetry brothel. More performance art than just spoken word, the poetry whores are an eclectic and diverse group of beings brave enough to bare their souls and share their stories. Some are more polished and others are more trite but each is special in its own way. The show is now in a fancy new venue but still carries a homespun charm.
