Bradley has appeared at the Hay Festival, Cheltenham Literature Festival, The Inspirational Youth Awards, on BBC News and on BBC Radio 6 Music as part of Craig Charle’s 'Class of 2024', in which Craig Charles described him as ‘A brand new voice and a fresh perspective on the art of poetry and performance’.

He writes for, and about, people.

M. L. WALSH is a performance poet specializing in comic absurdism and the construction of narrative through voice and characterisation. Since finding her form in the poetic monologue, she has experimented with the translation of performance poetry from stage to page, and how theatrical technique (and its removal) can modify a text. Her debut collection My Dog Has Never Read This was released in March 2025 with Verve Poetry Press.
Entry requirements: 14+, any under 18s accompanied by 21+ adult 1:1 ratio
