Edge Street Live Presents Dr John Cooper Clarke

“One of Britain’s outstanding poets”
— Sir Paul McCartney

“Fantastically entertaining. As a writer of comic prose Clarke is the match of anyone alive, and his turns of phrase are as sharp as his suits”
— The Times

A literary phenomenon and ‘Godfather of Punk Poetry‘, John Cooper Clarke has shaped music, literature, and fashion. From his iconic poem I Wanna Be Yours — a global hit with the Arctic Monkeys — to Evidently Chickentown featuring in The Sopranos, his influence is undeniable.

Rising from Salford’s working men’s clubs to sharing stages with Joy Division, The Clash, and the Sex Pistols, John became one of punk’s most important figures. His sharp-witted performances blend classic verse, new material, and hilarious riffs on modern life.

With a 2025 tour set for major venues like the London Palladium and Co-op Live, this is a rare chance to see a living legend up close at Jacksons Lane.
