‘Fishing’ tells the story of a son’s last ditch attempts at connection and reconciliation with his dying father Frank; who as the cancer takes over his body, is becoming increasingly bitter and frustrated at the prospect of losing control over what little time he has left. In the hospice, he dreams of one last [...]

There’s nothing worse the employment discrimination. A person should always be judged on the ability to do the job they’ve applied for. Sex, colour, disability; these issues should never, ever be a consideration. Which is why during the interview process for our new human resources assistant, I did my very best to make sure I [...]

You stand in front of the door. You hand held in mid-air, posed to knock upon the harsh wooden surface. But you don’t. You barely move at all. Instead, you let the gentle summer breeze wash over you. You’re scared! Scared of entering “The House”… “The House” is a new concept poetry play. Previously produced by [...]

On the 23rd of February 2009 a collection of local comedians, poets and performers came together in Sheffield to celebrate a new poetry album by ‘Nick Card‘ and raise lots of money for Amnesty International.

Fermat’s last theorem said if an integer n is greater than 2, then the equation a + b = c has no solutions in non-zero integers a, b, and c. Which is just silly when you think about it. Instead, listen to this; we’ve got Banksy, Ronnie Corbett, Anthony Worrall Thompson, Spam Emails, M.C Escher, and [...]

Santa is having a rather bad 2008. First of all he’s had all the money in his landsbanki bank account suspended; quickly followed by the discovery of a series of offensive messages left on his answerphone from two out of control BBC DJ’s. Elsewhere, a selection of unemployed high street bankers are having to go out [...]
