Jude Simpson: A Noise Annoys

A Noise Annoys is a poetry show for the senses! It features rhymes, noises, songs, surprises and lots of audience interaction. Bursting with joyful humour and witty wordplay, Jude takes the audience on a mind-bending journey through the sounds of language and the language of sounds. There is a lot of joy, a healthy dose of nonsense, and a few heartfelt moments of beautiful hush.

Using poems, puns, tongue-twisters, quirky props and a trusty guitar, Jude finds the joy and annoyance in the things we hear. Is it a noise that’s annoying, or the person making it? Do pingers ever ding? If you had a pet badger, what would you call it? This show will engage all ages with the spoken and written word, and leave them full of joy at the possibilities of language.
