Following three sell-out shows, Chloe Petts (Live at the Apollo, Have I Got News for You) returns with a brand-new tour, and she’s delving where she’s never delved before: this is a show about sex.

Chemistry returns to the Chemic on Friday 25 July, with another night of poetry and spoken word, not two but THREE brilliant headliners and our amazing open mic. This time round our headliners are gothic polymath Rosie Garland, and former Chemic hosts Mark & Gill Connors, appearing together as a double act.

The events are themed on the elements of the periodic table, so this time it’s element number 20, which is Ca for Calcium. The theme is entirely optional, but we hope you might use it as a creative prompt to come up with some new work to reveal on the night.
