Latitude Interviews - Luke Wright - Poetry Arena

1. Who are you most looking forward to seeing at this year’s Latitude festival across the Arenas (Obelisk, Uncut, Comedy, Theatre, Literary and Poetry, Film & Music) and why?

Well, I'm biased but I think Nathan Jones & Wave Machines in the Poetry Arena will be ace. So will Aidan Moffet, Molly Naylor, Rhian Edwards and Ross Sutherland. Outside of poetry I'm really looking forward to seeing some comedy and chilling out with my wife and new baby in the woods and down by the lake.

2. What aspect of Latitude Festival interests you the most and why?

I relish the task of managing my arena, but also the stark contrast between this and the calming nature of just slowly walking around the site taking in all the beautiful people and displays.

3. What can people expect you to bring to the festival and do you have anything special planned?

I'll be trailing material from my new show The Petty Concerns of Luke Wright, as well brushing the dust of festival favourites like Camping Dad and Embrace The Wank.

4. If you weren't doing this what would you be doing?

At home with my wife doing nothing.

5. What do you always bring to a festival?

Black plastic bags (years of Glasto training) and rum.

6. Have you been to Latitude before, and if so, what has your favourite performance been?

I really enjoyed Jarvis Cocker in 2007, but the best thing has got to be Carol Ann Duffy last year in The Poetry Arena.

7. Do you have any festival tips for those in attendance at Latitude?

Don't panic, go with the flow and let yourself be surprised by new and different performances.

8. What is your favourite colour Sheep?

Pink!
