About the event

Swindon Wordsmiths - Poetry and Comedy Night - September 2025
We’re back!
Launched in May 2025, Swindon Wordsmiths is an evening of spoken word poetry and comedy organised by Swindon people, for Swindon people. Whether you want to get up and perform, or sit back and watch, Swindon Wordsmiths has something for all poetry and comedy lovers to enjoy.

You'll find us at The Well at Abbey Meads Village Centre, North Swindon.

Come join us for a night of spoken word, open mic, comedy and all-round great vibes.

Line-up…
Swindon Wordsmiths is hosted by Abbie Doyle with spoken word poetry from the current Swindon Mayor’s poet - and our producer - Rebecca Rocker. Plus we’ll be treated to a headline stand-up set from local comedy legend, Sam Michael.

Open-mic…
There are five open-mic slots (5 mins for poets, 10 mins for comedians) which performers can sign-up for in advance by emailing aGVsbG8gfCB0b3JuY3VydGFpbiAhIGNvICEgdWs=. We'll confirm slots at least one month before the event. Open-mic performers do not need to buy tickets.

The heart behind it…
Swindon Wordsmiths is a safe space for comedians, storytellers and poets to share their stories with humour and heart.
Many of the organising team are Christians, with a passion for encouraging creativity and conversation in the local community. The venue is a church, but Swindon Wordsmiths welcomes any/all expressions of faith.
We want to:
* Create a supportive environment for creativity and connection.
* Be a non-judgmental place to share stories and spark conversation.
* Give people a great night out, offering an alternative to the narrative that Swindon is ‘one of the worst places to live in the UK'!
* Showcase comedy/poetry that is engaging, entertaining and accessible.
* Celebrate ordinary people and their extraordinary stories.
* Platform voices that uplift, inspire, encourage and challenge with care.
