“…quite comprehensively the best poetry night I have ever been to. Described by their fair selves as ‘mud wrestling with words’, it was the finest portrayal of how performance poetry should be. Entertaining, inclusive, crude and at times rather challenging to the strength of your bladder. Some outrageously original stuff from Rob Auton amongst others, including a poem about the emotional turmoil leaves go through in Autumn, complete with props.
So if you thought poetry nights were a little dry, think again. Hit up BANG SAID THE GUN whenever possible.”

Le Cool 141 SPRING
SPOKEN WORD Bang Said The Gun
Sometimes I find myself a willing for advocate for things I never knew I cared about. Recently, it has been nail polish undercoats and Sainsbury’s. I agree this is random, so I try not to question my brain too much for the fear I’ll get lost somewhere and never get out. With all this in mind, my latest passion is poetry. In fact, I think it’s the third time I’ve written about it in Le Cool. It’s not actually as if I write or read poetry. Noooo siree. But, if you like, dislike or feel ambivalent towards poetry or even words for that matter, head down to the Bang Said the Gun stand up poetry night in Borough. I don’t usually like to quote event posters directly, but theirs says ‘like mud wrestling, only with words’. I mean really, how can you not want to go to that? / Vanessa Morrish
