Award winning poets

That’s Easy for You to Say!, Rusty Bike, Thursday 30th June to Saturday 2nd July

Mab Jones and Anthony Fairweather are both fast-paced and funny performance poets, well-used to strutting their stuff on-stage and stunning audience members all over the UK.

However, they both share one interesting trait in common – both have (and still do) suffer from challenges to their verbal ability, namely, Selective Mutism (Mab), and a speech impediment (Anthony).

This hasn’t stopped them from winning numerous awards and accolades, however, and from the30th June to the 2nd July, they will be bringing their slam-winning style of spoken poetry to the second Exeter Fringe Festival.

You are invited to the show – entitled ‘That’s Easy for You to Say!’ – to witness the topical two spout and shout, perform complex verbal gymnastics, and wax lyrical on a host of themes in their inimitable and uniquely entertaining styles.

English gentleman Anthony and Welsh ‘lady’ Mab have performed on television and radio, at poetry and comedy events, in the UK and abroad; but most importantly, they have successfully used spoken word and poetry performance to overcome their unusual verbal challenges.

The show takes place at the Rusty Bike from 6pm on the 30th June, 1st July, and 2nd July. Come and witness an hour of high-speed hilarity, and learn how comedy can overcome anything – even silence or a stutter.
