I perform my poetry and fiction live (see here for dates of events) and in the media worldwide, at festivals and events both literary and scientific. It could be funny, cabaret/stand-up style sex poems, or my moving poetry of pathology and neuroscience, or a mix of both, sometimes with Char March as 'Ophelia's Sistas', or my dark but witty crime fiction... some of the places I've performed are listed here, just a sample:
Cornelia St Cafe, New York City
Cuisle Festival, Limerick City, Ireland 
Royal Festival Hall, London, with Carol Ann Duffy, John Hegley, Roger McGough, Lemn Sissay, et al
