Ben Fagan, performance poet, is funny, thoughtful, moving, and he has honed his art in fierce slam competitions where he’s taken out multiple prizes and awards. He will be performing at Arts on Wednesday on September 10 in Wellington.

Here’s what others have to say about him: “Ben Fagan is that rare kind of poet who combines well-developed linguistic agility with intelligence, thoughtfulness, and a mile-wide streak of humour – both light and dark, as needed. His performances are laugh-out-loud entertaining and deeply thought-provoking, and I’m always delighted to see his name on an open mic list.” (Laurice Gilbert, President, The New Zealand Poetry Society). “His conversational tone and understated performance style place him somewhere between a prophet and an everyday Kiwi bloke – a dangerously charming combination.” (Ali Jacs, New Zealand National Poetry Slam Champion 2012) High praise indeed – so check out Ben Fagan for something completely different to everything you thought you knew about poetry!
