Earth to Alice - Free As A Word, An Evening with Alice McCullough

Support from John Moriarty

Join us for this special evening with Alice as she shares a new collection of poems, stories and songs ahead of her performance at The Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

For over a decade she has been winning awards and delighting audiences with various incarnations of her one-woman show, “Earth To Alice,” a growing and changing collection of poems and songs that have taken her on many wild adventures.

Once described by poet Tony Walsh as "A Fred Astaire of words," Alice Mccullough's unconventional poetry performances have captivated audiences ever since she made her start performing 'Alice Fresco' on the streets of Belfast.

Alice has performed internationally, has given a TEDx talk, was Poet In Residence for Disability Rights California, and wrote, directed and starred in a critically acclaimed TV adaptation of her “Earth To Alice” show for BBC.

  “A sensational new voice. New to me, anyway!” Stephen Fry

 “Marvellous.” Michael Longley

 “McCullough infuses all of her poems with her love of Belfast, which is enchanting. Poems that are inventive, fresh and with so much heart, it left her audience spellbound.” ★ ★ ★ ★  The Neurodiverse Review (Earth To Alice, Edinburgh Fringe 2022)

“Her presence on stage is as mesmerising as ever. We joked after that we are getting tired of each show we come to getting a standing ovation. Of course, it is a sign of the high watermark of McCullough’s work across the board.” ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The Neurodiverse Review (The Song of The Bones, Lyric Theatre 2022)
