Written and performed by ANDREW ‘MULLETPROOF’ GRAVES @MulletProofPoet
A show about growing up and getting it wrong.
In his funny yet heartfelt new spoken word show, acclaimed performance poet Andrew ‘Mulletproof ‘Graves recounts his past life as a council youth worker, offering tales of drugs, relationships, bullying, parental break ups, starry-eyed punks and disappearing goths. Interwoven through this narrative are his own childhood stories about trying to come to terms with an aloof and difficult single father, who is unsympathetic towards his ‘poncey’ poetic leanings.
“Andrew writes of multilayered lives with absolute conviction. As performer, Mulletproof, he writes both into and out of the performance poetry milieu, but what remains most strongly from the performance element of his work is a real force of tone that sizzles on the page”
