Jackie Juno is a multiple Poetry Slam champion (and the only person to have won the coveted Glastonbury Festival Poetry Slam twice - 2017 and 2024)!
She has performed her poetry at two TEDx Talks, been chaired Bard and Grand Bard of Exeter for 8 years combined, and has hosted cabarets and poetry nights in various towns in Devon for decades.
She has published six poetry collections, including the recent ‘Priestess of the Powder Puff Experiment’ with Burning Eye Books.
She has created several multi-media one-woman shows, including ‘CANCER DANCER - My Quirky Quest for a Cure’, a comedic extravaganza written during her chemotherapy treatment in 2022.
Her material is hilarious, but also tender, confessional and occasionally ranting against the injustices of the world.
Jackie, along with the inimitable Ed Tripp, will be hosting Dartmouth's first ever Poetry Slam to find the best Performance Poet 2026!
There will be a cash prize of £100 for the winner, who will have to battle through several rounds of exciting, nail-biting performances to prove worthy of the title.
The audience gets to judge who they want to win.
Open to anyone over the age of 16?
