About the show

‘No Man is an Ireland’ is a uniquely surreal, standup poetry show, performed by award-winning Northern Irish comedian and former Bard of Exeter, Edward Tripp.


Edward ponders his cultural identity through the mediums of storytelling and prop-heavy stand-up poetry.


Featuring defrosted wives, visits from Uncle Connor (who isn't in the IRA) and at least one unforgettable tribute to the late Lady Diana. If you enjoy spoken-word poetry, this is the show for you. If you dislike spoken-word poetry, this is probably the show for you too.


Edward Tripp also received the bizarre accolade of being the only UK City Bard to hold a poetry ‘anti-slam’ title at the same time as his Bardship. This means that Edward was recognized as the best and worst poet in the Southwest of England simultaneously.


The question is, what on earth will this poetry sound like?!
