Henry Normal and Jan Brierton
Henry Normal and Dubliner Jan Brierton present an evening of poetry and laughs. Henry will be reading poems from his new book An Alphabet of Storms whilst Jan's poems reflect on being a wife, mother, daughter, sister and retired raver. Expect a highly engaging evening.
In this live show Jan Brierton riffs on modern life, love and friendships, wellness and ageing , rage and domestic exasperation .Jan's poems reflect on being a wife, mother, daughter, sister and retired raver. Her rhythmic poems are all delivered in her Dublin brogue, with a cheeky knowing smile. Plus lots of stuff about tea, lipstick and biscuits.
Succinct, heartrending and peppered with gentle punchlines.
Henry is a writer, poet, TV & Film producer, founder of the Manchester Poetry Festival (now the Literature festival) and co-founder of the Nottingham Poetry Festival. In June 2017 he was honoured with a special BAFTA for services to Television. He co-wrote and script edited the multi-award winning Mrs Merton show and the spin off series Mrs Merton and Malcolm. He also co-created and co-wrote the first series of The Royle Family.
With Steve Coogan he co-wrote the BAFTA winning Paul and Pauline Calf Video Diaries, Coogan's Run, Tony Ferrino, Doctor Terrible and all three of Steve's live tours and the film The Parole Officer.
Since retiring in April 2016, Henry has written and performed 10 x BBC Radio 4 shows combining comedy, poetry and stories about family. His 11th BBC Radio 4 show 'A Normal Journey' will be recorded this autumn.
