About DR John Cooper Clarke

Punk poetry's most quotable survivor takes the stage with his trademark drainpipe silhouette and machine-gun delivery. Expect the familiar favourites alongside newer verse, all delivered with the deadpan wit that's made him a favourite of comedians and musicians alike as much as poetry purists. A Saturday night slot means a crowd ready to settle in, heckle affectionately, and quote the lines back before he gets to them. Support acts and spoken word regulars often warm up the room, but the night belongs to one man and a microphone.

Where to stay nearby

Birmingham itself is the obvious base, with well over a hundred hotels in easy reach of the venue and no need to think about onward travel after the show. Sutton Coldfield offers a quieter, smaller alternative a short distance out, useful if the city centre options are full or pricier on the night. Cheltenham is a further trip out and really only makes sense if you're combining the gig with time elsewhere in the region, given the distance involved.

Cheltenham — about 66 km away

Cheltenham works for a longer stay or a spa-town alternative, though reaching the venue means a drive or train journey of well over an hour, so plan transport around the day rather than the evening.
