Stan Skinny is a poet, comedian and illustrator. He's won numerous poetry slams and is the current reigning champ of the Great Yorkshire show off competition for two years running. He's written 3 full length solo poetry comedy shows: Tesco chainstore massacre, Cyrano and An audience with Captain the Butcher Reality.

A unique and experimental performer he combines music hall, with Ivor Cutler inspired poetry and Kauffman esque clowning. Off the Shelf has described him as Sheffield's tallest and funniest poet and they wouldn't lie.

Equally suited on a comedy bill as on a poetry night or music event, he's a one man cabaret and could probably sort the catering as well. ​ Visit the workshops page for more info about the educational work that Stan can offer. ​ He also runs the street theatre company Digging Holes, that specializes in walkabout entertainment for festivals and community events, visit www.facebook.com/diggingholestheatre for more info. ​
