POLARI - a literary salon hosted by Paul Burston

The award winning POLARI literary salon is coming to Worthing for one night only !

Hailed by the Huffington Post as ‘The most exciting literary movement in London’ and winner of the LGBT Cultural Event of the Year, POLARI promises to wow Worthing with its unique blend of panache, cleverness and dexterity.

Hosted by author and founder of the award-winning literary salon Paul Burston, the night promises to be a must for anybody with a love of wit, wisdom and words as our enigmatic host brings together writers and performers (yet to be announced) to stimulate, inspire and entertain you with their stories.

From its roots in an upstairs room of a bar in Soho, POLARI has now become a fixture in the literary and LGBT calendar, regularly selling out its monthly slot at the Southbank Centre. With a slew of awards, and celebrated in the New York Times as ‘London’s most theatrical salon’, over the past nine years it has welcomed guests such as Will Self, Tariq Ali, Andy Bell and Stella Duffy to its stage. Supporters include Patrick Gale, Ali Smith and Sarah Waters, who describes Polari as “always fun, always thought-provoking – a guaranteed good night out.”

For its Worthing debut, POLARI has been organized by Worthing WOW in association with Worthing Pride, a group that has come together to offer events for LGBT audiences and supporters of equality, and is one of the many literary events, supported by Arts Council England and University of Chichester, for the WOW festival.
