Celebrate World Poetry Day and immerse yourself in a world of brilliantly funny poems and stories based on the book, ‘A Funny Thing Happened’ by Paul Lyalls.

Celebrate World Poetry Day with Paul Lyalls.

Drawing on poems from his much-loved collection A Funny Thing Happened, Paul brings words to life through an exciting mix of humour, rhythm, storytelling and audience interaction.

Whether you're a poetry lover or just looking for a brilliant family event, this lively performance will inspire creativity, spark imaginations, and leave you smiling. Suitable for children, parents, grandparents, and anyone who enjoys a good laugh.

Paul Lyalls is an award-winning children's poet, performer, and workshop leader. A former Poet in Residence at the Roald Dahl Museum, Arsenal FC Community Poet and London 2012 Olympic Poet, he has visited over 500 schools and appeared on the BBC/CBBC's The Big Slam Poetry House. His work features in Michael Rosen's A-Z of the Very Best Children's Poetry, and Michael Rosen describes him as "a kind of magic that makes you see the world." His latest book is Words Are Frogs (2025).
