Simon Lee has been described as "A Seasoned Performer" with "concise pithy comment" and as ... "Endearingly Deadpan." He has been writing and performing poetry for about ten years now, appearing at poetry slams, pubs, open mics, and assorted other gigs. Solicitor by day and poet by night, he likes to think of himself as poet law-reate.
Sorry.
Poetic highlights, in no particular order, include a 10 minute slot at a friend of a friend's birthday party to about 20 people crammed into a living room, walking the streets of Birmingham in his pyjamas on National Poetry Day 2007, winning Cheltenham Science Festival Slam (Slam The Atom) in 2008 and putting together his first CD - Tales of The Half-Expected.
