  • The Ferret 55 Fylde Road Preston, England, PR1 2XQ United Kingdom (map)

Another Enjoy The Show masterpiece makes its way to our legendary stage 🙌

Pete the Temp and Emmy the Harp present an engaging collision of comedy, harp and vocals – for a show like nothing you’ve ever seen before.

Ahead of their autumn UK tour, Peter and Emmy are coming to The Ferret for a special preview show. 

The performance dives into themes of madness, philosophy and the mind - with the help of loop machines, synthesizers and FX machinery. The result is a uniquely poetic and songful carnival of vibes. Expect a one-of-a-kind act of rapture. Laugh, sing and prepare to be enchanted.

Pete “the Temp” Bearder is an award-winning spoken-word poet, author and comic. His work has been featured on BBC Radio 4, The World Service and Newsnight.

His mission is to incite wonder and enchant a riotous love. Pete is a former National Poetry Slam Champion and has taught and performed in 15 different countries. While living in Europe he worked as a street entertainer, bringing laughter, dance and interactive silliness to large audiences across the continent.

Emmy the Harp is a classically trained harpist with a lifelong dedication to her craft. Her collaborations include duets and bands ranging from prog-rock to afrobeat.

A Bristol-based multi-instrumentalist, Broughton works with a diverse mix of musicians, storytellers, poets, clowns, dancers and theatre companies. Recent collaborations include Outlier by Malaika Kegode (Bristol Old Vic, 2021-2022), Ernie’s Journey by Clementines Live Arts (Rural & National Touring, 2021-2023). Upcoming collaborations include workshops with Liz Felton and touring with Gnawa player Mohamed Errebbaa.
