AND THE WORLD SPINS ANYWAY - EDINBURGH

  • Assembly Roxy 2 Roxburgh Court Edinburgh, Scotland, EH1 1PN United Kingdom (map)

Have you ever found yourself hovering over the sink, eating pasta straight out of the saucepan, utterly convinced that everyone else is out there living sleek, well-oiled lives while you… well, hover over the sink eating pasta straight out of the saucepan?

Georgie has. In fact, she’s probably doing it right now.

Praised for her “formidable stage presence and compelling way with words” (Reviews Hub), Georgie’s work captures the exquisite messiness of modern existence, and makes the chaos feel strangely comforting.

In her latest hour, she blends spoken word, stand-up, and storytelling as she shares poems from her debut collection, And The World Spins Anyway. It’s a love letter to real life; however it shows up, an antidote to the highlight reel that is social media, a tribute to the unfinished, the unfiltered, the uncertain.

She can’t promise any answers, but she can make you feel a little less alone in not having them. And maybe a little more comfortable hoofing pasta straight from the pan.

“Riveting, relevant, relatable poetry.”
Deborah Frances White

“Georgie Jones has an extraordinary gift.”

“I cannot help but be mesmerised by the talent Georgie possesses.”
