Bad Language returns to The Castle Hotel, deep in the heart of Manchester’s Northern Quarter for another night of absolutely brilliant spoken word and poetry.

Our headliner is the fantastic Stephen McGeagh. His first novel, Habit is described as, “Think Bret Easton Ellis. On a writing break in the north of England. And all he packed was Fight Club and some early Stephen King novels. Stephen McGeagh’s powerful debut will stay with you for a long time.”

On our open mic, we’re proud to have a host of amazing spoken word performers, writers and poets. This month we’ve got:

Joy France
Sarah Dixon
James Varney
Fin Jackson
John G Hall
Dominic Simpson
Polly Checkland
Lenni Sanders
Trevor Meany

So get yourselves down to The Castle on Oldham Street on the 29th of January at 7:30pm. The event is free, and you can find more details here.
