Run Your Tongue

Run Your Tongue RUN YOUR TONGUE! Spoken word night in Leicester where everyone is welcome and anything goes! Spoken word open mic + headliner.

Run Your Tongue was Kettering's best and longest-running spoken word night. We've now moved to Leicester so we can't claim any of those things any more. First Thursday of each month @ Leicester Contemporary. Musicians and comedians also welcome.

Thanks to everyone who came down last night and especially to the fabulous for headlining. I didn’t take any pictures of the performances as I couldn’t find my phone, so here’s a picture of me, my mate Dave and Rosa being silly in the background. Also, thank you for all the birthday love sent my way. RYT will be taking a bit of a break until later in the year so we can focus on other things. But we’ll be back bigger and better than ever!

I’ve tried so hard to sit quietly on this like Humpty Dumpty but I’m too excited.

Will you remember where you were when the 4th Wall fell?

January 9th will be the last RYT for a little while ☹️

- plus, it’s Rob’s birthday 🎈

and Dominic Berry is back! 🙌 So, lot’s of reasons to come down!

We are back for another edition of Run Your Tongue - the spoken word open mic night where everyone is welcome and anything goes.
Join us for a weird and wonderful evening of words at the amazing WATSON’S COCKTAIL BAR (AKA The Vegan Bar) in Leicester.
If you would like to perform on the open mic, please email [email protected] beforehand (poets, singers and storytellers are all welcome - in fact, as long as it involves words, you are welcome to open mic!)
This is a hybrid event, meaning some slots are available for online performances anywhere in the world! Also, feel free to log in and watch!
Pay As You Feel (and if you can) - Donate via purchasing an Eventbrite ticket or on the night.
There’s no obligation to donate or play the raffle - just come along anyway!

This is tomorrow!
We are really looking forward to welcoming our Canadian friend Jeff Cottrill to Leicester. Jeff met us during the online times of 2020 and has been a regular ever since. Tomorrow, he’ll be here in person!
There are plenty of open mic slots available either in real life or on Zoom (remember, this is a hybrid event, so you can connect from anywhere!).
Tickets are free, but donations are welcomed on the night.
