The Flash Poetry Experience @ The Improv Pit - Dec 11th
Description
After their last two consecutively sold-out shows, Melbourne's pre-eminent Philosorapper & his band of improv renegades are back to tackle humanity's midlife crisis once again with their final show of the year.
Colliding philosophy, storytelling, freestyle rap, rambunctious musical improvisation and a real-time exploration of the increasingly strange times we inhabit, The Flash Poetry Experience is a one-of-a-kind theatre-style show that happens just a few times a year.

The venue is intimate and mostly seated. There will be a lights show by local legend Flavius. Tickets are limited and will likely sell out again.
Flash Poetry is a freestyle rapper, TEDxMelbourne performer and the author of the poetry collection 'The Silent World That Won't Stop Talking’ exploring our modern myths and middle-class demons.
Harnessing the power of poetry, freestyle rap and his electrifying live band, Audiences are taken on spontaneous, immersive lyrical adventures informed by the looming questions of the times, crowd suggestions & whatever is most alive in the room at any given moment.
Through a unique blend of rhythm, philosophy, storytelling & wordplay, the professional copywriter turned ‘Philosorapper’ offers a poetic lens to the conversation while he and his band showcase the mind-bending magic of live improvisation and the flow state.
