Silly Point is a poetry event for South Somerset with some simple aims. Loosen the larynx, lean into the lyrical, love the ludicrous and laugh.

Feature Poet - Sam Riot

Sam Riot is a multidisciplinary theatre maker, award-winning poet and instigator of Bristol’s madcap cabaret club night RIOT ACT. Sam is a high-octane lyrical raconteur of the hilarious, the unbelievable, and the downright outrageous. High literary and magical realist worlds will collide with the everyday grit of modern urban life as he attempts to make sense of the senseless, armed only with a microphone and a flair for the irresistible riotous humour of his native Bristol. Expect the Profane. Expect the Sublime. Expect fireworks, and- most importantly- the unexpected. 

Buckle up. 

This is poetry to party to. The more raucous, the better.
