Ben Macpherson Does Poems at Adults

6 - 13 Oct 2026

Adults generally have ears. Ben Macpherson has poems. It's time to put those two together with you in the driving seat. As you take your seats, pick from 30 thirty vibes for what you want the show to be. You're in complete control of the show, be that silly, sordid, sad or sweet. With poems covering everything from the world's best cheese to the intimate lives of cartoon characters, Ben Macpherson has the poem for you. Blending friendly chat with style and genre, Ben is a verbal tour de force, bound to leave you laughing, crying and so much more.
