Stand-up comedian and Nevermind The Buzzcocks star Phill Jupitus will be in Workington later this year with his new show Juplicity.

He appears as his word slinging alter ego Porky The Poet, bringing poetry and chat to the masses.

This year his pencil is sharpened in the direction of religion, dieting, politics, hate, hipsters, love, parenthood, sex, The Clash, baseball, death, Michael Gove and a slew other vital matters.

He will be appearing at the Carnegie Theatre in Workington on October 5 and tickets go on sale on May 26.
