"The Antipoet are at the forefront of the new movement; their material dripping with parody. They take poetry to a new level, with performances as memorable as they are hilarious" Chris Wilson - The Stage |

| Paul and Ian have brought together the wit and wisdom of one of the countries finest performance poets with melodic rhythms of solo bass and the odd piece of gratuitous percussion thrown in for good measure to create the unique sound and spectacle that is The Antipoet. |
