T.S. IDIOT is a performer who looks at pop history's margins to embrace and mock modern life in equal measures. They look to the junkies, the jokers and the bent and abandoned for inspiration and solace.
They have warmed up crowds for the likes of John Cooper Clarke and Attila The Stockbroker, as well as DIY punk shows and queer cabaret nights across the UK. They believe that the values of punk can be a transformative and powerful vehicle for social change.
Their chaotic life's work spans poetry, short fiction, live performance, film and theatre - some of which has been made for BBC Arts, Tate St Ives, Raise The Bar, Bristol Museum, Apples & Snakes and 1020 Radio.
They have self-released two zines, SPIT & MARGARINE (2020) and THE PROTEST POET'S HANDBOOK (2022) and their poems and short stories have been published by Perennial Press, Clav Mag, Global Youth Review, Orange Blush, Revolv, The Bitchin' Kitsch, Sassify, Howling Press, Velvet Fields, Unicorn Magazine, Queerlings and HUCK. Their debut collection BACK TO THE FUCHSIA will be appearing in bookshelves and prophetic visions in 2023.
