We're back with another iconic open mic featuring poets, musicians, comedians and more! This month with incredible headliner Kieren King!
Kieren King is a Manchester-based spoken word artist with 18 years of performance experience. In that time, he has performed at venues and festivals across the UK and Europe, including Glastonbury and Kendal Calling, and for organisations including Amnesty International and Musicians Without Borders.
Kieren was one of the hosts of Bang Said The Gun: Manchester and the creative mind behind the acclaimed spoken word nights Slamchester, Evidently and the Word War Slams.
Kieren is a Great Northern Slam champion and a four-time UK National Slam finalist (Hammer & Tongue – 2016 & 2017, Farrago – 2023 & 2024). During the Edinburgh Fringe run of Stand Up & Slam, he was undefeated in a competition pitting poets against stand-up comedians.
He was commissioned by Guy Garvey of Elbow to curate a spoken word event as part of his Meltdown festival at the Southbank Centre. He has also been a featured guest performer for writer and former NME journalist and Hacienda DJ Dave Haslam as part of his Not Quite Light Weekender. Additionally, he was commissioned by Salford Reds Rugby League to write and record a poem celebrating their appearance in the Super League Grand Final - a video that received over 100,000 views across social media.
Kieren has been featured on BBC Radio 4 and was commissioned by Sky to write and perform a poem for TV to launch their channel Blaze.
His debut collection Spit & Sawdust was released in October 2025.
🎤Open mic sign-up on the door, no booking needed. As always, Voicebox is for everyone - whether it's your first time on the mic or you just want to come and enjoy the atmosphere.
