Reviews and Feedback

Martin Figura’s poems are sharp and funny. One of the best performing poets on the circuit.
Luke Wright
I didn’t think old people could be funny, you were very very funny.
Ten Year Old Boy
“He must be a writer – he has ‘the look’ about him”. Punter, Edinburgh International Book Festival
Edinburgh Book Festival
…. Tym’s response was extraordinary, for a quiet, non-poetic man like him. ‘Brilliant! he exclaimed. ‘Absolutely bloody brilliant!’ And he kept on saying it all the way home.
Jennifer Currie
…. brave, confident and articulate performance from a man who gives us the confidence to find within each of us the strength to be a good father or mother or poet, or even all combined in one.
Norwich Spy - Julian Swainson
…. sometimes very funny and always engaging. Figura is remarkably frank in what he tells his audience; but he includes us rather than making us feel we are intruding.
London Grip - Michael Bartholomew-Biggs
Martin Figura’s show was one of the highlights of our festival this year. It had a very powerful effect on the audience; months later people still tell me how it has stayed with them.
Eleanor Livingstone, Director StAnza International Poetry Festival
