Theatre Shows

Steve Larkin has developed a number of theatre shows, honing his skills over a decade by taking part in international theatre fringe festivals. His past shows have varied from comedy poetry double act ‘Bold and Spiky’ with the brilliant Rob Gee, to music show ‘Inflatable Buddha: Bigger than Jesus’, to solo cabaret shows, and to spoken word theatre shows.

Spoken word theatre is a rapidly growing genre described by Lemn Sissay as:

“theatre by a spoken word artist more likely a poet which is scripted and directed with theatrical sensibility maintaining the poets integrity.”

Steve currently has three shows available for bookings:
