Everything Poetry Night is BACK on Monday 3rd February at The Walrus Bar & Hostel in Waterloo, and this one is going to be EXTRA special! ✨

Grab your tickets via the link in our bio - no tickets will be sold on the door. Doors open at 6pm for a 7pm start. Open mic sign ups are available on the night and are pulled from a hat, at random.

We’re beyond excited to have the incredibly talented Cazimir Teague headlining for us.

ABOUT THE HEADLINER:

Cazimir Teague is an artist/writer and musician.
As a performer, they strive to create bridges of understanding and respect for disempowered communities, using their art to illuminate the complexities of mental health, Black q***r identity, and anti-colonialism.

Caz endeavours to engage audiences in conversations that challenge stereotypes and nurtures empathy, encouraging individuals to explore their own narratives and the stories of others. Their work blends personal experience with collective struggle, inviting reflection on the intersections of identity and the impact of systemic oppression. By amplifying marginalised voices, they aim to cultivate a more inclusive and compassionate world where everyone’s experiences are valued and heard.

Caz has shared their work on many stages across the UK including the Southbank centre, the Royal Albert Hall, the Dome theatre of Brighton and the Liverpool Playhouse Theatre. Having curated London’s only regular 3-round Slam 'Genesis Poetry Slam' until 2022, they are also a regular host of online and in person poetry workshops.

Cazimir’s first poetry collection 'Good Earth' was published with Burning Eye Books, (2019)

This is going to be an unforgettable night, so don’t miss out on the chance to witness their magic in person! 🔥
