WASPS vs HUMANS is a one man performance poetry project. In a commentary based style, observing snap shots of life; political and humorous, his take on the world is delivered with a growl and a smile.
Originally a playwright, the man behind Wasps vs Humans has written plays for theatre, all produced, including a UK national tour and taking in the Brighton International Arts Festival. Musically, he released an L.P and Single with UK based 80s avant garde/experimental band, 4,000,000 Telephones, with a tour in Germany, previously gaining interest from national UK press and making the playlist of radio 1’s John Peel show.
Since Wasps vs Humans entered the scene eighteen months ago, the punk poet has caught the attention of national and local media and recently performed on RTE Radio 1’s Arena programme as well as a couple of spots on Cork’s 96FM.
Wasps vs Humans debuted as a performance poet at the Cork Mid Summer’s Festival in 2009 and went on to support Jinx Lennon on a number of dates around Ireland, including a performance in Dublin with Captain Moonlight and Christy Moore. Last year also saw him perform at The Glór sessions in Dublin, sharing the stage with poets, Dermot Bulger and Stephen James Smith.
His first collection of poems entitled ‘Sustain Your Ability To Satisfy’ is due to be published later in 2011.
