ROCKED HIMSELF OVER HIS TOP BLAND is at @deadwaxnorwich on the 19th of March. Same graft different gaff! A bland spring is here, bringing the possibility of shared moments with new folks and entertainment in bars. Everyone could use some tender loving care to clear out lingering winter bugs and colds. A warm mug of @kid.anansi in your favourite sweater will quench your poetic needs, and a ginger shot of @flatvenus will put some rhythm in your aching spin. A couple of comedy @earlham_sketch pills will soothe your headache, all with the incense of @poppy.wareham to clear your sinuses. @rosspearsonart will hold your hand. 19/03/2026 Tickets and info on @deadwaxnorwich website, tap that link in bio.

Who put the dick in the dickie bow? BLAND is coming out of hibernation on the 31st of January at @thehollowaynorwich I don’t know what a dickie bow is, but lord above it’s fun to say; dickie bow, dickie bow, dickie bow. David Bowie wearing a dickie bow on a row boat in Soho! If I was to say the 31st of January to you, you would probably say back, that’s national zebra day - correct. It’s already a pretty fxxking great day. However, kick your zebra’s behind and tell her to giddy out the way because she’s blocking the entrance to @thehollowaynorwich . @bla.n.d is starting off your year with the most bizarro’ variety show our silly little lanes can offer. Always ending with live music provided by people who perform and like performing music for others to watch and react to. A poet with the energy of a hundred Capri-Suns ready to take on the local lido and an act so wild I had to sign a health and safety thingymige. And of course vinyl bingo, which has new a sponsor (old one got arrested for fraud), it’s *now* his twin brother, Poss Rearson. Tickets and info on @thehollowaywebsite , tap that link in bio. Non-Pay Pal users can reserve tickets in our DM’s. Featuring: @rosspearsonart , @foolhardy_circus , @rhianbrookepoetry , @jacksgard.en , and @millett.tv

The final BLAND (for this year) ever BLAND is celebrating a year at @thehollowaynorwich on 21st November. What a run we’ve had. A dream. The blue velvet curtains will drop for the last time this year. A tear will roll down your cheek as we play Vinyl Bingo for the last time ever (this year). People ask me, “Will you ever do another BLAND?” and I say, “Not this year, jackass.” I had a dream where I ate the world’s largest cracker and my mouth wasn’t dry afterwards. I shot @alexandercarsonmusic in the foot and told him to give me the IP of @reworknorwich . He refused. Now he’s closing this years final ever @bla.n.d show. @hannah_elspeth24 is gonna touch your third eye with her poetry and sigh, because she’s like dat. I’ve told @earlham_sketch to give us something to feast on — something meaty, with blood and bones. I buspect they won’t. And finally @rossperason , our little angel from Bethlehem. A great analogy for our relationship is like SHELL CORP and the Earth’s crust. We’re just drilling, baby. Texas style. Get 2 @bla.n.d and support emerging talent. Tickets and info on the @thehollowaynorwich website, tap link in our bio. Non-Pay Pal users can reserve tickets in our DM’s.

We had the pleasure of hosting @arthurblackofficial last July and she absolutely brought the house down. Such a powerful, experienced voice and an incredible band behind her. They closed our bizarro’ night perfectly. Don’t miss the chance to catch them live at @deadwaxnorwich on the 11th. On the night 19th we will be floating into the sunset with @flatvenus . I can’t wait to see them close our bizarro’ @bla.n.d variety. The finest. I’m buzzed man, if you haven’t seen before - see them. With me. With us. 🎥 @tpollitt99 19/03/2026.

Poppy Wareham You think this is a special addition to our live show. Poppy will set up her easel and begin with a completely blank canvas, painting as the night unfolds. As the music evolves, the comedy cracks and poetry flows so does her paintbrush. Creating a visual narrative that grows alongside the performance, a time capsule of the hours 19:30-22:30 on a random 19th of March @deadwaxnorwich in the year 2026. We will do a few playful check-ins throughout the show, and as audience members have a sneaky cheeky glance at how it’s coming together but do not be distracting or disturb Poppy (unless she encourages). By the end… who knows what it will become? “My name is Poppy and I am a Norwich based, self taught artist. I use acrylics, and work in a bold abstracted, Often surrealist style. Colour is central to my studies and informs a lot of my creative decisions. No one piece is the same and I often change up my process each time I paint. I love the emotions my art can bring out in people and I want to share that as much as I can”! 19/03/2026 Tickets and info on @deadwaxnorwich website, tap that link in bio. #art #liveart #norwich #bland Featuring; @flatvenus , @kid.anansi , @poppy.wareham , @earlham_sketch and @rosspearsonart

Flat Venus Our first show at @deadwaxnorwich will be closed by the very much loved @flatvenus . Expect grooves, moves, and … country blues? (nope) Please wear your shuffling shoes because on the 19th of March we all shuffle together to the rhythm of @flatvenus ! Flat Venus are a quintet inspired by the dream-pop and folk band scene of the 90s. With a wistful and foreboding approach to their harmony-heavy songs that “verge on Gregorian chant at times”, the group specialise in vulnerable lyrics, spaced-out, jangly guitars, and a driving rhythm section. For Fans Of: The Cranberries, Fleetwood Mac, The Pixies. 19/03/2026 Tickets and info on @deadwaxnorwich website, tap that link in bio. #music #livemusic #norwich #bland Featuring; @flatvenus , @kid.anansi , @poppy.wareham , @earlham_sketch and @rosspearsonart

Kid Anansi “That creative hurricane and me good friend, Kid Anansi!” Benjamin Zephaniah. The poetic equivalent of finding out that the drinks machine in your local McDonalds has replaced its Pepsi button with spiced rum. Get a tall glass of “Pepsi” with some rocks when Kid delivers on the 19th of March with @bla.n.d at @deadwaxnorwich . Kid Anansi is confusing, frightening, delicious with ginger ale and lemon, and unhealthy in large doses. His poetry will have you laughing, crying, biting your knuckles in second-hand embarrassment, or all three, mixing history and melancholy with slapstick humour and inimitable energy. A regular face on the BAFTA Award winning first season of Life & Rhymes, and host of poetry nights around London. His one man show: FIRST premiered in London from August to September. His debut album KID ANANSI EP: Ebonymous Posch is available to listen to on YouTube, bandcamp and SoundCloud. 19/03/2026 Tickets and info on @deadwaxnorwich website, tap that link in bio. #kidanansi #poetry #norwich #bland Featuring; @flatvenus , @kid.anansi , @poppy.wareham , @earlham_sketch and @rosspearsonart .

@milletti.tv closed our last show @thehollowaynorwich . I remember hearing Jo play this song last year at @reworknorwich , and then most recently at the end of the year at The Merchants open mic that they do every Sunday, i believe. When i hear songs i really dig i say to myself “fuck off” in an almost aggravated way - it’s a good sign, trust me. I think i said fuck off six times during Jo’s set. It was an absolute pleasure having him and his band. The whole night was a spectacle, we hmm’d fix you, we saw a daughter get put in a box of swords by her drum & bass obsessed Dad and @rhianbrookecreates blessed us with her words. Somehow we get to go again on the 19th of March @deadwaxnorwich , tickets on sale soon. Featuring; @flatvenus , @kid.anansi , @poppy.wareham , @earlham_sketch and @rosspearsonart . 📹 @tpollitt99

The best way to end a night of bizarro’ activities and spoken word is… live music 🤘 We always close with a musical act and at our last show @alexandercarsonmusic sent us floating into the night with our halos buffered and shining brightly. A six-piece band all playing their instruments preciously, like a nap under a tree during golden hour. Tonight’s musical guest will be @milletti.tv band! 📸 @saz.atherton_photography Tickets on @thehollowaynorwich website and in our bio. Non-PayPal users can reserve tickets in our DM’s. 31/01/2026. Doors 7pm. Featuring: @rosspearsonart , @foolhardy_circus , @rhianbrookepoetry , @jacksgard.en , and @millett.tv

Who said taxidermy is dead? I found this segment of the show utterly appalling, “auctioning” off a slow loris for what? Some cheap laughs and a Vietnamese cigarette? Best believe I reported the owner of lot No9 to PETA. I’ll do my utmost to make sure this doesn’t happen at a @bla.n.d show again. (He was kinda cute doe).
