Les Barker
Sunday 23rd November, 4.30pm. $14
British Poet, Parodist, Humorist. Our only non-musical event.


 Maybe the best writer of parody and wordplay the English
speaking folk world has heard.  Dirty Linen


Les Barker writes strange poems and comes from Manchester. He
was an accountant before he became a professional idiot. He has
written 70 slim books, which sell in large numbers at his gigs
because people cant quite believe what they just heard. His
poems have spawned a number of folk heroes: Jason and the
Arguments, Spot of the Antarctic, Cosmo the Fairly Accurate Knife
Thrower He also has several solo albums with titles like Up the
Creek without a Poodle, which contain poems with titles like
Guide Cats for the Blind and Dachshunds with Erections Cant
Climb Stairs. Les has travelled the length, breadth and height of
Britain (as well as Hong Kong, Australia, New Zealand, the US and
Canada) performing (?) at major folk festivals and small clubs.
Audiences inevitably end up in hysterics. Hes very hard to
describe, but here is only one of him, so come hear him. A sample
can be heard (supposedly co-written by Mr Barker and Mr Bush,
An Odd Kind of Ultimatum, at his website, www.mrsackroyd.com)

Snazzy is presenting Les Barker, british comic poet, on the 22nd and
