OPEN HEART
OPEN HEART is a new Storm Clouds story set in Bontown’s illustrious open mic performance scene, based heavily on Newcastle events Word Hurl Anti-Slam and Heart Open (hence, the title). It debuted as a live reading in May 2019 as the final act in an evening of 12 open mic performances from Newcastle artists – some curated, some impromptu – featuring stand up comedy, slam poetry, folk music and a dramatic reading of a thesaurus. Though it is best experienced live, in context, as part of an emulated open mic environment, the comic can be seen in full here. The printed edition, in a rare half-A4 format, can be purchased here.
