The Poets are Coming: Tina Sederholm

What do people need to know about you?

I will be seeing as many shows as possible (of course)

Twice Oxford Hammer and Tongue Regional Slam Champion and a member of the winning team at the 2013 Hammer and Tongue National Slam Championships, Tina has previously taken two solo shows to Edinburgh, both gaining five star reviews. Subtly subversive, she combines humour with dark undertones.

What are you up to this Fringe?

I am doing a full run of my solo show Tina Sederholm: The Good Delusion (8th -30th August) and helping out with Hammer and Tongue Slams, both in the Banshee Labyrinth. I am also appearing in the poetry game show Poetry Goes Pop and a slot at Stand-up Tragedy. I will also be seeing as many shows as possible (of course) and trying to stay sane enough so I am still able to form coherent sentences by the end of the Fringe.

What else are you going to see?

Rob Auton’s Water Show, Steve Larkin’s TES, Paula Varjack’s How I Became Myself (By Becoming Someone Else), Dan Simpson: Nerdsmith and Butt Kapinski’s Butt Kapinski.

What is your favourite word?

Palimpsest. I’m pretentious like that.

Since you’re here…

… we have a small favour to ask. We don't want your money to support a hack's bar bill at Abattoir, but if you have a pound or two spare, we really encourage you to support a good cause. If this article has either helped you discover a gem or avoid a turkey, consider doing some good that will really make a difference.

You can donate to the charity of your choice, but if you're looking for inspiration, there are three charities we really like.

Mama Biashara
Kate Copstick’s charity, Mama Biashara, works with the poorest and most marginalised people in Kenya. They give grants to set up small, sustainable businesses that bring financial independence and security. That five quid you spend on a large glass of House White? They can save someone’s life with that. And the money for a pair of Air Jordans? Will take four women and their fifteen children away from a man who is raping them and into a new life with a moneymaking business for Mum and happiness for the kids.

Theatre MAD
The Make A Difference Trust fights HIV & AIDS one stage at a time. Their UK and International grant-making strategy is based on five criteria that raise awareness, educate, and provide care and support for the most vulnerable in society. A host of fundraising events, including Bucket Collections, Late Night Cabarets, West End Eurovision, West End Bares and A West End Christmas continue to raise funds for projects both in the UK and Sub-Saharan Africa.
