Doors: 7:30pm Show Starts: 8:00pm

‘Don’t do that – you’ll miss the sunset.’ Sam Browne’s new poetry show is equal parts hard-hitting and hopeful, with a decent helping of humour in the mix as well. It explores both mental health and masculinity while telling the story of what got Sam through his darkest days.

Sam Browne is a spoken word poet from Southend, Essex, who originally set out to be a stand-up comedian until he realised all his jokes rhymed and were all a bit sad. So he pivoted to poetry, and things started to click. Since then, Sam has developed an online following of over 100,000 followers on Instagram as well as tens of millions of views. He has won awards for his activism work, numerous poetry slams and was more recently featured in the BBC documentary Eastenders investigates the Manosphere and in the Guardian . He writes about masculinity, VAWG, and, less importantly, all his big feelings. He is known for his chaotic and humorous stage presence as well as his hard-hitting poetry. Some reviews of his work include “Try harder” — Andrew Tate, and “Yeah, but is it real poetry?” — Sam’s mother.
