Ed Tripp

A surreal, genre-bending, standup poetry show, performed by award-winning Northern Irish comedian and former Bard of Exeter, Ed Tripp.

Ed ponders his cultural identity through the mediums of story-telling and prop-heavy stand-up poetry.

Featuring defrosted wives, visits from Uncle Connor (who isn’t in the IRA) and at least one unforgettable tribute to the late Lady Diana. If you enjoy spoken-word poetry, this is the show for you. If you dislike spoken-word poetry, this is probably the show for you too. Expect the unexpected… and hold on tight.

“Tripp doesn’t so much straddle or have one foot in the camps of comedy and storytelling, but instead finds perfect harmony between them – each element of humour extenuating the spoken word, each poetic structure lifting stories to new heights. Tripp’s poetic moments are a treat, cohesive and engaging, and for newcomers, is the finest introduction to the marvels of spoken word” – Corr Blimey
