Description
Showcasing the top spoken word talent the festival has to offer – from the laugh-out-loud funny, through the wonderfully surreal, to the thoughtful and emotional – Loud Poets continue to prove that spoken word has something for everyone. Each night features a unique line-up and Loud Poets’ classic fist-thumping, pint-drinking, side-tickling, heart-wrenching style of spoken word! This is poetry for the masses!Please note that while all media gallery content is provided by verified members of the event, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society does not review or approve this content before it is posted.

These guys never disappoint and Saturday nights show was no exception. The venue is lovely, and the mix of performers was excellent. The line up changes daily, so we didn’t know what to expect, but all 3 poets were brilliant and very different to each other. Jack Macmillan was so funny - we lost the plot and laughed a lot! This show is a fantastic way to end the day - it’s clever, fun and thought provoking. Can highly recommend!

Had a choice between this and a magic show. So glad we chose this ! Although magic on its own way. Funny, poignant, well presented. Loved it.

So enjoyable - great MC and great poets (10th August). Thought provoking, sad and funny. If you have never seen spoken word work before, you can do no better than start here.

Great show. Super professional. Plenty of variety. And the line up changes every night, so definitely planning to go again! 5 stars!

Everyone should go and see this! If you have never seen a spoken word show then this is for you. I have been to 3 shows and each night the cast of Poets have blown me away, not only because of the great poetry but also the fun and banter with the audience. 10/10 will see again

I really love the way Loud Poets work so hard to make sure their audience not only see good poetry, but have fun as well. To often that last part is forgotten but never with these folks. They're great. I've performed at some of their open slots in the increasingly distant past, but but I've had a great time as a punter just as, if not more, often as I've been doing my own stuff. Hearty recommendation.

Go and see this! I’ve been twice now to see two different line ups of poets and all six have been absolutely phenomenal. They’ll make you laugh, they’ll make you cry, they’ll make you think and they’ll have good banter with any willing audience member.
