Description
A show with one common theme: Relatability. Together, in open and inclusive company, come and find relatability in themes including plants, Aboriginal rights, the NHS and the perfectly brewed cup of tea. How? Come see! Ollie enjoys using poetry to reflect on the nuances of life we all experience and how it allows you find common ground with, well… just about anyone! Group participation encouraged (but you won’t be picked on). Previous performances: Brisbane Fringe, SofarSounds and wedding ceremonies. 'In 27 years of this job I’ve never seen a recital like that' (Marriage celebrant).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.

The great thing about the fringe is you don’t know what will happen next. While having a drink in a teepee Oliver came and approached us. He left us with a flyer and after reading it we thought let’s give it a go. We were not disappointed, the show gave you insight into Dr Oliver, the audience and yourself. If you have a hour to spare this is well worth a visit.

A thoughtful show, with Oliver providing great original works. This all acts as a lovely relaxing break from the hustle and bustle of the fringe.

Teabreak Poetry is an intimate and charming delve into the human psyche and a reminder that no matter our differences, we can all relate to one another. Well worth a visit!
