Poems, dreams
and lies.

Andy Blackford is a prolific poet and storyteller. The Stand-Up Tragedy Tour 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
