Spork!
Spork! is an Exeter based events producer putting on live poetry events across the city and beyond. Running since 2018, Spork!’s mission is to make spoken-word accessible, engaging and fun!
Since 2018, they’ve hosted over 100 events, ranging from Haiku Slams to workshops and pop-up performances. They’ve programmed big names like Rob Auton, Vanessa Kissule, Joelle Taylor, and Harry Baker, alongside a wide range of local emerging and established poets – plus comics, drag queens, rappers, and even brass bands.
They regularly host shows at Exeter Phoenix, including the annual City Slam competition and the much-loved Christmas Special. They also host a monthly poetry book club called the Not Dead Poets Society, on the last Tuesday of every month at Exeter Library!
Spork! is led by local artist-producer Chris White. To get in contact, email Chris on sporkpoetry@gmail.com
