PERFORMANCE: Jimmy Livingstone
22nd May 2025 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm
Spoken word poet Jimmy Livingstone is making waves. After building a following in the South, he’s finally heading north to Ilkley Manor House on 22 May!
Jimmy Livingstone is a spoken word poet whose performances have been gaining traction in the South. After captivating audiences at solo gigs and small festivals, he’s now bringing his sharp, quick-fire rhyming to Ilkley.
A Genesis Poetry Slam finalist, he also portrayed Chris Whitty in This England on Sky Atlantic—though he insists his real-life hair is far superior. Trained at RADA, his career has spanned theatre, animation, and music, earning acclaim as an actor, writer, director, and singer-songwriter before turning to poetry. His work explores the personal, satirical, and political, all wrapped in dark, wicked humour. Expect strong language, adult themes, and sinful laughter.
“Come on in, take a sip of my ocean!”
