Lewis Buxton: FRIEND
25 Oct 19:45
This show is an average guy’s guide to making new friends. Join award-winning poet and performer Lewis Buxton in a story about sport, sitcoms and socialising. He’ll write poems for his best mates, confess his darkest secrets and with his trade mark welcoming wit, ask how on earth does a man in his thirties make new friends?

He has written for The Independent and The Arts Review as well as having poems published in the foremost literary magazines in the world: The Poetry Review, The Rialto and Magma amongst others. His first one man show ‘Boy!’ toured the UK in 2023 and his new show ‘Friend’ will tour in 2024.

Reviews
‘Buxton is a performer in full control of his craft, combining the confidence of an arena comedian with the sensitivity of a poet…brimming with talent…don’t be surprised if you see him on your television screens soon.’
EDP‘Poems that capture the rugby scrum of insight and uncertainty, the questions and discoveries I remember and still live. It pulled me in and showed me it’s birth marks. Loved it.’
