Preview

John Cooper Clarke will be at Warwick Arts Centre on Saturday 29 April on his I Wanna Be Yours Tour with special guests. He shot to prominence in the 1970s as the original ‘people’s poet'. His unique poetry was put to music by producer Martin Hannett and a band of Mancunians, The Invisible Girls.

Influential tracks such as Beasley St and Evidently Chickentown featured on the album Snap Crackle and Bop, one of four hit 70/80's album releases. JCC became one of the most prolific artists of the Punk years.

His 1980's poetry collection 10 Years in An Open Necked Shirt featuring the lyrics to classic tracks from his albums and more, is one of the UK's biggest selling poetry collections of all time.

Since then, his career has spanned cultures, audiences, art forms and continents. Today he performs purely as a stand-up solo poet. His unique poetry show has been touring worldwide for over 15 years.

John's 2018 poetry collection The Luckiest Guy Alive features 30 new poems, including the favourites: I've Fallen In Love With My Wife and Get Back on Drugs you Fat F*ck.
