Saturday 7th December, Helchile + Reclaim Poetry Collective Reunion!

This Saturday 7th December we have wonderful poet Helchild (our double feature) + Reclaim Poetry Collective Reunion (Jazmin Tassell, Jaya Penelope, Kate Drown, 5minutes each), plus open-mike.

Strap yourself in for a wildly funny, demented ride with Helchild! The Melbourne based queer poet, playwright and satirical comedian is back in Perth for one exclusive show at Perth Poetry Club! Meet notorious Elizabethan poet Christopher Marlowe (Shakespeare's inspiration)...and meet Shakespeare himself. Experience QLD senator Pauline Fartson's latest poetic masterpieces.

Originally from Perth, Helchild has worked with some of Melbourne's most Iconic comedians, recently featured at Melbourne International Comedy Festival and was a finalist in the Melbourne Spoken Word Prize. For more info on Helchild go to www.helchild.com or Helchild Comedy on Youtube.

Reclaim Poetry Collective comprises Jazmin Tassell, Jaya Penelope and Kate Drown. 

  Jazmin Tassell … Jazmin writes poetry about the joy of life, including the tears, and believes poetry is a panacea for fears.
