This show captures that exciting moment when a story gets so good, its teller has to put down their drink. Under the Table serves social critique with potent shots of comedy and poignancy, employing a range of poetic styles. Mixed in with the best stories from last night are the results of a lifelong amateur study of alcohol, society and love. Straight from successful shows across New Zealand and the USA, Kiwi poet Ben Fagan is a TEDx performer, slam poetry champion, and delivers the opposite of the dusty school poetry you remember.
