The competitive world of poetry slamming in Edgware, north London, is the setting for this new musical comedy.

One wrong iambic pentameter can result in instant elimination.

Wisebowm is the self-confessed genius of the slam poetry world. Still living with his step-mum, Val Bernstein, who owns the local poetry club, Words on the Street, he longs to win the monthly cup named after his famous poet father Sid Delicious.

Supported by his best friend Dean who is more addicted to scratch cards than being helpful, Wisebowm鈥檚 biggest rival is Katie Storm who announces gluten had been blocking her creativity but she is now writing freely.

He is forced to go gluten-free in order to win the competition.

Wisebowm: The Struggle Is Real lifts the lid on a new generation of woke and aware Londoners looking for a new way to fame.
