Nols reviews Pertinent Interruptions a very weird experiment in open mic with interruptions and heckling.

The brain child of Play On Words Dr Lee Campbell and Colin B Osborn the night allowed the crowd to jump in with poems or just loud sexual innuendos.

The night was a very raucous end of year poetry jam but also taught Nols a lot of respect for the silence of the open mic and being held rather than being at war with your audience.

Here is to more weird experimentation in 2026!

The night included some fantastic poets including but not limited to:
