Poems, dreams
and lies.

Andy Blackford is a prolific poet and storyteller. The Stand-Up Tragedy Show is an amusing pot pourri of poems, anecdotes and observations inspired by his diverse and unusual life.

It could be verse…

“I loved the show. Just when you think it’s all sweetness and light, he throws in a poem or a story that just knocks you sideways.”

— Nick Hamlin, Cambridge

“The best night we’ve had since that Christmas party at Downing Street.”

— Steve and Louise, North Yorkshire

“Andy steers an intricate course between amusing and moving, uplifting and thought-provoking – not to mention laugh-out-loud funny.”

— Dr David White, Birmingham
