About Jonny Fluffypunk

This month’s headliner is Jonny Fluffypunk, an economic refugee from the home counties, who began his ‘career’ spitting vicious political verse between bands at punk gigs until cured by a West Country shaman. Now he ‘does’ poetry that deafly fuses bittersweet autobiography, political disillusionment and surreal whimsy in an act which has established him as a firm favourite at festivals, arts centres and housing benefit offices up and down the country.

“Acute social observation, intricate humour, surreal fantasy, sharp irony and wit… and England’s most pretentious moustache” - The Independent

“This man truly relishes language. GO SEE HIM” – Tony Allen (‘the Godfather of Alternative Comedy’)

“Sublime…well-crafted, tender and life-affirming. Highly Recommended” – FringeReview

“A cross between Norman Wisdom and Citizen Smith” – Stroud News & Journal

“Vaguely funny. Vaguely interesting. Excessively overconfident” - BBC Southern Counties Radio
