Award winning performance poet and creative producer based in Manchester. Confident onstage, quite shy off it.
Yep. All of this.

Excited to let you know that I am curating a one-off poetry slam at 53Two June 22nd. I have handpicked the best local talent to make this a night to remember. If the event is a success, it could become a regular slam series.

"With Preston currently ranked as the worst funded city in England for creatives, Condo’s show speaks directly to the people who desperately need support."
Huge thanks to Kate Rosindale for this article about How to Starve an Artist. Can't wait to bring the show to The Ferret next week!
Now that more people have migrated over to bluesky, does anyone know of any creative job listing lists or accounts to follow? (theatre, visual art, etc) also looking for artist grants or other opportunities

Thinking today of Eve Kosofky Sedgwick’s reminder that we spend too much identifying poison and not enough time seeking nourishment - find voices today that nourish and inspire

As "Slightly Less Dishevelled Alcoholic" at an AA meeting in Waterloo Road or in Anne Rice's Talamasca on SKY as "Pub Patron"... apparently I have a "look"
I don't like to ask in challenging times, but our Festival needs support this year - funding cut by ⅓ & three sponsors down. If you can spare any amount it will go back into our not-for-profit @huddlitfest.bsky.social providing free/low-cost events for #Huddersfield localgiving.org/fundraising/...

If you are an early career producer I can’t recommend it enough! I have come out of it with more knowledge and confidence than ever before & an awesome network of peers to draw on.
