——————————–

Kev Mud is obscure and hairy – just like that stray dog you wanted to keep when you were a kid, but your mum said no, because it accidentally knocked over a vase and relieved itself on the sofa. Touching on subjects such as man boobs, facial hair, and the Son of God, he also has poems that aren’t autobiographical, is dashingly handsome and definitely didn’t write this himself.

Alissa Kindred makes work that touches on the profound and the profane in equal measure – surprising and disarming her audience with deft strokes as she weaves the everyday with the transcendent. Her recent performances include as part of Rob Drummond’s Open Mic (Soho Theatre, London) the IWD Cabaret (The Acorn, Penzance) and support for Hollie McNish’s recent gig in Newquay.

David Matthews is a singer-songwriter known for his originality, humour and depth, and ukulele songs about internet dating, school refusers and personal growth, David Matthews lives in West Cornwall where he also works as counsellor and runs songwriting workshops for the soul.

Mimi is an actor and performer with a degree in Acting from the Arts University Bournemouth and an MA in Creative Writing from Exeter University. After stumbling upon SproutSpoken and being supported and encouraged to perform at one of their evenings, spoken word has turned into a fun new adventure for Mimi, allowing her love of performing and writing to come to life on pop up stages and spaces around Cornwall! She recently won Cornwall Comedian of the Year and was seen at Boardmasters amongst other festivals through Summer 2022.
