Edinburgh spoken word

Writers’ Bloc
A dedicated gang of writers and performers. We put on a themed show every few months, usually in an Edinburgh pub cellar. Cheap admission, great readers, good laughs, a handy bar.
Hardcore Humour
Gary Death puts on regular shows and works hard to make them fun for everybody. I drop in and do a slot from time to time.
