Yes, we’re pleased to announce the return of Phrased & Confused, back to once again explore that creative common ground between music and lyrics.

This year we’re shaking things up a bit, and are packing up our Phrased & Confused belongings to take over a stage at the award winning Summer Sundae Weekender festival, which for three days (8-10 August) takes over De Montfort Hall and Gardens in Leicester.

We don’t want to give the game away here, but we have got some rather special things planned and artists confirmed. For more information, check out www.phrasedandconfused.co.uk where all – well, some anyway – will be revealed.

The Insulting Cabaret will be occupying the Late Lounge of the National Theatre this Saturday. Hosted by Perrier award winning funny guys Noble & Silver, the event will showcase a fine array of international artists all performing around the theme of the Insult.

As part of International PEN’s Free The Word! festival, the hub are producing a lively event to be held in the Late Lounge at the National Theatre on Saturday 12 April called The Insulting Cabaret. So what’s it all about I hear you ask?

Hosted by comedy duo Noble and Silver, you can expect fast-paced laughter and a thought-provoking show, packed with outspoken voices, slam poetry and comedy, banned songs and provocative texts, book covers and cartoons, live blogging and much much more.

One person’s insult is another person’s joke. Got a favourite insult or banned work? To insult or not insult - where do you draw the line? Please email insults, stories, poems or even song lyrics to insultingcabaret@gmail.com
