We want to say a big thank you to Anthony Gonez, Anthony Johnston, Brian Smedley, Casimeria Coyle, Dean Rowlands, Gary Jardine, Hannah Norris, Kerry Cliffe, Matt Jacobson, Sally Porter, Taking the Vic, and Tom George for their brilliant performances!

We also want to say thank you to the people who attended on the night, you were a fantastic audience. Thank you to Laura Ferries and Louise Evans who were wonderful hosts, and to Steff Hudson and Mark Cooper for providing Give Poetry A Chance the opportunity to host an event at the 2022 Liverpool Fringe Festival.

Congratulations to Casimeria Coyle for winning best performer (Poetic)! We loved her set. Her first poem had us in stitches, but our favourite was her poem about whales. Well done to Hannah Norris, Sally Porter, and Taking The Vic who were also nominated for the award.
