Spark the Goblin Wizard at Waterside

Creative Tourist

Spark the Goblin Wizard at Waterside, Manchester 16 February 2018 Tickets from £7.00

Spark’s magic can turn anything into anything. He’ll turn the bogies up his nose into some pink ribbons and bows. He’ll make a gorgeous high-heeled shoe out of a pile of donkey poo…

However, something strange and terrible begins to happen in Spark’s forest. With lyrics, laughs and lots of joining in, poet Dommy B needs your help to save the day!

Dommy B is Glastonbury Festival 2017 Poet in Residence, Winner of Saboteur’s Award for ‘Best Spoken Word Artist’ of 2017, and has won New York’s famous Nuyorican Poetry Cafe Slam and UK Superheroes of Slam. He has performed his poetry for children on BBC Rhyme Rocket.
