Jemima Foxtrot, Iona Lee, Sabrina Mahfouz & Sophia Walker (2017 Event)
While comedy still struggles with gender equality, the spoken word scene is well used to its biggest, most exciting exports being female. Following in the footsteps of Kate Tempest and Hollie McNish, we bring you some of the most exciting new talents in spoken word.
