Inua Ellams Search Party

Inua Ellams brings his critically acclaimed, chaotic, audience-led poetry event to Brighton. Deeply personal and deeply hilarious, he opens up his personal writing archive in an interactive show where you call the shots.

Pick a word, any word. Prompted by audience suggestions, Inua Ellams will search through his extensive archive of work and perform a reactive and spontaneous selection. Each show is unique and special.
