The Last Word

An annual favourite at the Roundhouse for the last six years, The Last Word Festival offers over 30 powerful performances which blur the lines between spoken word, poetry, music, circus, and cabaret. Spanning 19 days, the festival platforms compelling and underrepresented voices exploring topics of politics, race, identity, gender, body positivity, mental health, and more. Taking the definition of spoken word literally, the festival will also feature everything from live podcasts and film screenings to workshops and supper clubs.
