Spoken Word at its sparkling, hilarious best. Featuring excerpts from Mercury in Retrograde, a show critics describe as "cancelled due to clinical psychosis" and The Scotsman called "Strangely gripping."
God: tackled! Vegetarians: slain! Cults: joined! Drugs: differentiated! America: explained! "Headlining performance artist Ian Winn, a California marine-biology graduate turned expatriate spoken-word sensation took top honors at several major poetry slams in England (and) opened for superstar rave DJ's such as Paul Oakenfold at London nightspots. Winn's live shows are an alloy of satirical, politically-tinged, stand-up comedy... and memorized, hyperkinetic readings of the poems in his novel."- Denver Westword "Fresh Talent. Plunges into the Third World Experience and displays a rampant thirst for mysticism and self-discovery. One cannot help being won over by Winn's enthusiasm and intellectual energy."- The Times regarding Winn's debut novel, The Techno Pagan Octopus Messiah "Strangely gripping."- The Scotsman "Sharp writing, amusing vignettes"- The Telegraph "Get on a Winn-ing streak. With his energetic performance poetry, Ian Winn is a leading star on the spoken word circuit."- The Guardian "Witty, perceptive, ridiculous!"- The List (Edinburgh Fringe Review) "Rockin' the world of verse, slam poet Ian Winn drives 'em wild."- Phoenix New Times
