Gubsmacked presents Flyte Nyte 2025

Like the modern rap battle, ‘flytings’ flourished in 15th century Scotland as a form of entertainment, and as a means of garnering respect, attention, and speaking truth to power. Today, GUBSMACKED presents the dazzlingly rude and boisterous Flyte Nyte 2025! Colin Bramwell, Iona Lee, and Leyla Josephine host poets, rappers, and spoken word artists all fighting to become the first Flyting Champion using nothing but wit, verse, extravagant verbal abuse, and name-calling – highbrow it isnae!
