Pete the Temp is poet, activist and educator based in London, England. He is the former Hammer & Tongue National Slam Champion (2009) and the current BBC Radio 4 South of England Slam Winner (2009). His work has been featured on the BBC World Service and has performed at over 20 summer, fringe and literature festivals making him about as common a feature in a festival field as a portable toilet.
His latest production is a touring stage show ‘Pete (the Temp) vs Climate Change’, a personal tale of temp jobs, bank sieges, oil orgies and arrest.
In his role as UK host of Indiefeed Performance Poetry he aims to document the voices that are bubbling up on the spoken word circuit and showcase some of the best performing UK poets as well as up and coming names. Pete also promotes and comperes nights. One of his productions - Drunken Poetry (in Drag!) - to date, represents one of the lowest moments in the history of the art form.
Beyond performing Pete does slam poetry workshops in schools and youth centers. He is also involved with Cyc du Soliel [3] (a cycle and solar powered sound system). The system is used to do green themed performance poetry workshops and stages at festivals.
He extends love, solidarity and gratitude to everyone who has taken the time to share in his work and passions.
