Matt Harvey's warm-hearted poetry cabaret.

Recorded with an audience at the Comedy Box, Bristol.

With poets:

Les Barker
Pete Hunter
Jude Simpson

And one man house band - Jerri Hart

In Dead Poets' Slam, expect deathless words of best-loved poets from the past.

The audience compose their own crowd-sourced poem (the subjects of which can vary wildly, from reflecting on the delights and demerits of cheese, to Sunday mornings, and the winter habits of gerbils).

Producer: Mark Smalley
