Hegley and Pascoe To Perform LIVE AT THE RSC, Feb 2014

John Hegley and Sara Pascoe are joined by Byron Vincent and Hollie McNish in the Royal Shakespeare Theatre in Stratford-upon-Avon on Sunday 9 February 2014 for an evening of poetry, comedy and music.

John Hegley is a performance poet, comedian, musician and songwriter, and was the Keats House Poet in Residence in 2012. John has been described as the Spike Milligan for our time and is a consistent favourite at the Edinburgh Festival. With over half a dozen bestselling books under his belt, he is not to be missed.

Sara Pascoe has achieved great success as an actor and standup comedian. Her show Sara Pascoe Vs The Truthreceived fantastic reviews and critical acclaim at this year's Edinburgh festival. Sara has performed as a panelist onNever Mind The Buzzcocks, QI and Don't Sit in the Front Row, as well as performing stand up on Live At The Apolloand Stand Up For The Week. Further television credits include Twenty Twelve, The Thick of It and Being Human.

Byron Vincent was BBC poetry's new talent choice 2010: given that this happened several years into his career, neither the words 'new' or 'talent' seem particularly pertinent. Byron was one of the commissioned artists as part of the RSC and Google's Midsummer Night's Dreaming project this Summer.

Hollie McNish is a published poet and spoken word artist who straddles the boundaries between the literary, poetic and pop scenes. She was UK Slam poetry champion in 2009, representing the UK and finishing 3rd behind Canada and the USA in the World Poetry Slam Finals in Paris. She has released two poetry albums, Touch and Push Kick, both to critical acclaim.

Previous Live At The RSC performances in Stratford-upon-Avon have included comedians David Baddiel, Chris Addison, Russell Kane and Greg Davies (with Chris Ramsey appearing on 2 February 2014), and singers KT Tunstall, Teddy Thompson and Neil Hannon.
