Georgie Jones

Georgie Jones writes poems. It is her favourite thing to do.

Although, she’d like it to be known that a packet* of Frazzles and an episode** of Below Deck: Mediterranean comes an incredibly close second.

A performer by nature and a poet by trade, Georgie is known for her humour and heart.

She was a Roundhouse Poetry Slam finalist, before joining the Roundhouse Poetry Collective and subsequently spent a year as Roundhouse Resident Artist.

It’s all a bit Roundhouse centric this, isn’t it?

But WAIT, there’s MORE!

Her debut spoken-word show Ish was commissioned by a consortium of Midlands-based venues and generously supported by the Arts Council. It sold out its preview tour, garnering 4 and 5 star reviews and was set to sell equally well during a full UK tour in 2020, until, y’know gestures at everything.
Undeterred, Georgie took her poetry to social media, where she has since captivated over 180k followers, more than 6.8 million views and had her work shared by Malorie Blackman, Adrian Lester and British pop-rock band Bastille who said her poetry was ‘f***ing brilliant’. Sorry for swearing.

Georgie’s poetry is like a really good chat with a really good mate; sharp, funny and full of warmth. Her blend of conversational charm and lyrical elegance marks her as an engaging voice in contemporary poetry.
