Poems. He’ll start with one and then do another and another and another. It’ll go on like this to the end, then you can leave (assuming you arrived). Ten years since his Edinburgh Fringe debut, Hammer & Tongue 2021 grand finalist Craig is back: planning another 'bizarre, abstract and hilarious one man show' (Ben Huxley) and more 'heartfelt, tender prose' (ThreeWeeks), just the way you like it. Short, funny and a wee bit sad, he promises some 60 poems in 50 minutes. So, if you’re bored, just give it a sec. Ta. That’s that one.
