For conferences and Events

If you want a stimulating, fun and accessible session for your conference, staff away day or celebration event then why not consider booking me for a set of performance poetry?

Videos

Here are some videos of me performing my poetry:

“Richard Boggie has performed at my poetry night, Out of Your Head! on a few occasions – you never know quite what to expect with his writing, apart from the fact that it is always brilliant, honest and relatable. His writing ranges from cry-laugh-inducing to tear-jerking and every performance is a joy to behold.” 
– Amy Langdown, Creative Practitioner and Producer of Out Of Your Head! poetry night
