Henry Rollins is to embark on a spoken word tour of the UK and Ireland early next year.

The former Black Flag frontman will bring his unremarkable brand of observational humour (or so I’m told, anyway, as if I would know) to the following venues:

January

26 London Hammersmith Apollo
27 Bristol Colston Hall
28 Wolverhampton Wulfrun Hall
29 Dublin Vicar Street
30 Manchester Academy
31 Newcastle Academy

February

2 Aberdeen Music Hall
3 Glasgow Theatre Royal

The lunk-headed hardcore veteran is currently performing at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

rollins spoken word is ace

this is good news


...

Oh, fuck yeah.


....

yo dis, whats with the henry hate? sometimes you guys dont do yourselves any favours for like being on the right side of having a clue.


Yeah

Good work on getting a writer to write this news post in the style of an uninformed 14 year old idiot who considers Bratzs to be their movie of the year.


i already have tickets for the London show

I can't wait. Even though I basically have to wait 6 months for it!


"Unremarkable"

and "lunk-headed", eh? I take it you simply looked at his picture and thought "wow, he looks a bit like Desperate Dan"? And have never previously heard of Henry Rollins? Let alone read any of his books, or heard anything he's ever done?

Sorry, what site am I on again?


hmm

to be fair, he is lunk-headed. and this, at least: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W9S5-EB8dR8 is fairly unremarkable. also i'm familar with his work, he was in that pink flag


His spoken word

is a mix of the soul crushing self-depreciation of his books, cock jokes and observational humour mixed with self-loathing and a big grin.

Good stuff but not the best. I'll go to the Glasgow one just to see the man before he disappears into a cameo role blackhole.


Henry Rollins can currently be seen co-hosting "Full Metal Challenge"

on Channel 4 at 4:25 on Sunday mornings. What the fuck's THAT about?


I saw a show

and it was good


Is there anyone else who wishes...

...he'd just get back to playing music and tour?????
