Nick Degg is a Potteries poet, and the current Stoke on Trent Laureate, who takes his inspiration from the wrung out dishcloths of everyday life.

He has also recently clocked up his 500th gig, such is his appetite for performing live!

His published works include "A cup of teeth" (2020) "I come from a Town" (2021) "Chalk" (2024) and "Chaze" (2024") He also released a CD called "Harping on about stuff" in 2020 which was recorded with local producer Jon Aldersea and has received much acclaim.    

Nick's gigs are always heart warming, hilarious and cleverly resonate through his excellent word craft!
