Poets, Prattlers, and Pandemonialists were formed when three poets got together over a pint or five in a Wolverhampton pub. Since then, Emma Purshouse (former poet laureate of Wolverhampton), Dave Pitt (associate artist at the Arena Theatre, Wolverhampton), and Steve Pottinger (resident chancer) have taken their acclaimed spoken word show to Edinburgh Fringe, put on a string of great events, and built a reputation for poeting, prattling, and pandemonialising far more than is recommended. They’re currently working on a new show which will have its premiere at Morecambe Fringe this summer, if they don’t get distracted by the pub.
