Live 'Diary, She Wrote' podcast reading from Liz Beardsell @diaryshewrote

Liz Beardsell has written a diary every day of her life since 1994. At the age of 12 she started to document her life in the form of traditional pen to paper diary writing and now at the age of 38 she has over 9,000 diary entries.

She never intended to publicise her stories. But after doing a reading of a diary entry one night at a spoken word event in London, both friends and strangers encouraged her to share more and more. Hearing someone’s diary read out loud wasn’t just honest and explicit, it was compelling and relatable. This prompted the creation of her podcast; Diary, She Wrote. Her ability to story tell and describe things so many others find hard to speak about, makes for such compulsive listening, audiences will find it difficult to not immediately want to download the next episode.

Spoken word from TstarNay @tstarnay

TstarNay is an emerging songwriter/ spoken word artist and rapper from London best known for her social conciseness and articulate flow. Fusing hip-hop grime and spoken word, TstarNay keeps listeners hooked. TstarNay’s latest and first single release ‘Coffee by the sidewalks’ blends warm vibes and cool flows generously receiving over 8k streams in the first month. ‘The difference is the difference between those who want to make a difference’ is TstarNay’s personal mantra which she stands by in her music. Her anticipated debut EP is set for release in May 2020.

Poetry from Tumi @georgieporgiepuddinpie

I write for the woman in me, who knows that the world can never love a woman like me - too hysterical, too educated, too enraged by it all, too positive, too daring, too passionate. But there are many of us like this, the best way to describe my poetry is that, that I write it for women like this. Women like me.

Poetry from Amber Dillon @__amber9

Somewhere between storytelling and poetry, Amber’s commentary on dating and mating raises eyebrows and heart rates. NSFW content.

Comedy from Maisie May @mrmaisie

Finding comedy in the everyday, Maisie May is an optimistic observer who catches and questions all the funny behaviours from society. Offloading her views on family, London and her 20s. She shares all the peculiarities you might have missed whilst playing candy crush.

Comedy from Caroline Maddison @carolinecomedy

Caroline grew up in the East Midlands and works in London, she loves the small things that makes us all a bit odd, from mis-judged diet hacks to unfortunate sausage mascots, she unpicks the ridiculous of our every day with wit and charm.
