And perhaps those struggling with self-image issues (but then again who, male or female, doesn’t have such struggles at times? As one the females being targeted by this book, I must confess to thinking we’ve had quite enough of women being told how to be without another book to make us question our decisions, lifestyle choices or human instincts. Co-founded by poets Donald Jenkins and Tom C, Born Lippy was created to join what they saw as the obvious dots between performance poetry, rap and comedy. P erformers will include darkly humorous poet Louise Fazackerley, winner of BBC Radio 3 New Voice award, European slam finalist and support artist for Dr.

On the inside cover, the blurb reads “if there’s one thing we women are entitled to, it’s having a bloody good moan”. For one thing much of what these phrases cover suggest Brand’s insights might just as well apply to men as well as women. Director Danny Boyle described it as the "heartbeat" of the film, capturing its "euphoric highs following intense lows".Smith was shocked when BBC Radio 1 played the track on breakfast radio, and said: "I thought, music is moving, culture is moving, it's spreading. If you want to get really useful advice about life's problems, go to someone who has messed things up, admitted it, then got back on track. Well, I did enjoy this just enough to ignore her own advice to ‘give up and find something more interesting. We wanted to put on a varied and interactive show that blurred genres and was exciting, engaging and speaks to a diverse audience.

I think as we move back towards in-room events, there will be a need for people who can watch via streaming. With so much incredibly well-informed, intelligent discourse happening on this subject today, readers deserve more in a book positioning itself as one that aims to help. Spoken word and performance poetry is perhaps a lesser talked about, but still hard-hit casualty, of the post-lockdown live circuit. Born Lippy events also often feature poetry slams, a friendly yet competitive space for new poets to test material and develop performance skills. Her professional success has enabled her to salvage some positives from it all, and that’s really at the core of the best of what this book has to offer.If you want a laugh by an author who does not take herself seriously but is serious about the welfare of others read this book. Nights such as Born Lippy – who celebrate their third birthday this month – provide a valuable space for wordsmiths of all disciplines to show off their skills. When Brand does deal with feminism in a chapter that proposes a “Re-Branding” of the word, it predominantly offers a slightly patronising synopsis of feminist waves and suggests that feminists should learn to communicate better with each other and remember we are all on the same side. Indeed, whilst there are plenty of moments where she says things I can relate to, such as people becoming far less polite and tolerant than they might normally be once they get behind the wheel of a vehicle, there are quite a number of moments where she says things that completely contradict my experience.

There is less work at the minute and artists from all disciplines are competing for what funding there is. And sadly, I think we also deserve quite a bit more in a tome on “how to do female” than what we receive from Brand here. If you are going to get pissed, make sure someone reliable is with you to get you home for example - that sort of good advice!
