GRUMPY F****R
Following on from sell out shows here at The Met in 2020 and 2022, comic poet Steven P Taylor is back with his latest show GRUMPY F****R, with lots of new material and some of the old favourites, in which he offers his tongue in cheek take on life.
Touching on such topics as relationships, aging, youth, Christmas, fast food, wokeness, politics and social deviants. It’s a bit of a lesson in middle aged anarchy!
He currently has four poetry collections published and the fifth should be released in time for this show.
Expect laughs and possibly the odd tear.
