Humdinger Words for Whippersnappers & Guttersnipes

A comedy-cabaret poetry party led by stage hypnotist-turned-primary school teacher, Ben Dali. Framed as a school day with an unusually entertaining supply teacher, this is a fast-paced poetic journey through elements of the Key Stage 2/3 curriculums. Using sharp wordplay, mind-blowing trivia, visual humour and all manner of crazy antics, 'Mr Dali' combines performance poetry, comedy and insights into his hypnotic past to celebrate language, curiosity and confidence.

Set pieces include a rhyming balloon-modelling lesson, joyful exploration of English’s finest 'Humdinger Words', and genuine improvised rhyming mind-reading. Children can perform their own poems in the Show-and-Tell segment: so come prepared!
