Or maybe it was at the Jeremy Corbyn book tour with Jess Green. Crumbs. We have so many memories of Jackie, it all mushes together like a kaleidoscope of unicorn farts. What a loss. A truly magical animal. We will miss you, @JackieHagan.

Joe has one of those old-fashioned shepherds' crooks to yank waffly poets off stage, but Jackie was too entertaining to stop. Fats was so in awe, he drank glitter-flecked booze from her prosthetic leg - or maybe that was at Kendal Calling. >

In July 2017, Bad Language got too popular, so we moved venue from The Castle to the bigger stage at Gullivers. We needed to start our new era with a rock-solid headliner. Someone with the personality and the talent to ensure literary bums on seats. We chose Jackie Hagan. 🧵>

(As in, she's reading an ape story. We haven't stolen a load of primates from Chester Zoo and let them into the event.)

Presenting MOTHER NAKED, the new book from @Glen_J_Brown. We're launching this tonight in Manchester with @BlackwellsMcr, with Joe and Fats leading audience questions pretty much in the style of the wonky minstrel on the book cover. Come along! Doors at 6.30pm.

We're going to have a real good time together. We shall listen to words and we shall clap and rollerskate and high-five each other until our hands fall off. Make sure you grab your ticket! x.com/DanCarpenter85…

Matt Hill's latest novel LAMB (@DeadInkBooks) has plants growing on the cover. We put it in a plant pot to make sure it doesn't wilt before this Thursday's event. He'll be reading alongside Dan Carpenter, Glen James Brown & Abi Hynes. Doors are at 6.30pm. eventbrite.co.uk/e/blackwells-x…

One of our two support readers at our Bad Language / Blackwell's bash this Thursday is ABI HYNES. Her impressive CV includes an adaptation of Anne Of Green Gables featuring Catherine O'Hara -- a.k.a. Moira from Schitt's Creek! Fold in the cheese, David! eventbrite.co.uk/e/blackwells-x…

On Thursday, we welcome back @Glen_J_Brown to Bad Language. He headlined for us in 2019, and as a direct result of that (probably), he was shortlisted for the Orwell & Portico Prizes. Book your ticket or be disappointed forever. eventbrite.co.uk/e/blackwells-x…
