Gubsmacked Takeover: A Paisley Flyting

Guaranteed to be a highlight of this year’s festival, we’re thrilled to welcome Gubsmacked, Scotland’s funniest poetry night, to Paisley Book Festival for a special one-off event.

Presented by three iconic Scottish poets – Leyla Josephine, Iona Lee and Colin Bramwell – Flyte Nyte is a no holds barred poetry punch-up, reimagining the courtly medieval Scottish tradition of Flyting: a poetry rap battle in all but name.

Come and see Taylor Dyson, Molly Maclachlan, Kevin Gilday, Nasim Rebecca Asl, Medha Singh and David Ross Linklater some of Scotland’s most exciting poets, throw serious shade.
