The Mole Hole Micro Pub 17 High Street, Gravesend, DA11 0BA UK

Spoken word open mic night in Gravesend's best micropub.

A timber-shivering Holy Moly this month, as the most piratical Nina Telegina boards and plunders us. Nina is shown above preparing for her show "Renegades", an interactive comedy/storytelling show about forgotten women in history: epic heroines, pirate queens, lesbian arsonist nuns, and the like. But she's also an excellent poet, so we may well get some of that instead!

We'll kick off with our open mic for all your poems, spoken word, short stories and sea shanties. No need to book, just turn up and sign up on the night. Entry is free, but if you would like to support us, please buy an optional ticket on Eventbrite
