About the show

A spellbinding comedy-cabaret-poetry journey into the baffling mind of a seven-year-old poet and the outrageous adult he became. Ben Dali shares his innocent childhood rhymes and their insolent adult sequels before taking audiences on a poetic tour of his life, from quizmastery to primary school teaching, via stage hypnosis. Dali blends sharp wordplay, visual gags, comedy rap and mind-boggling trivia into an unmissable hour that subverts genre and expectations. Featuring insights into hypnosis with genuine improvised rhyming mind-reading. This hyperbole-defying smörgåsbord will delight the intellectually curious and guarantee you'll leave with unforgettable talking points.
