MIK ARTISTIK’S EGO TRIP
Irreverent and idiosyncratic, the out-there northern crooner comes to town!
Mik Artistik’s Ego Trip performs at Future Yard on Saturday 10th May.
A poet, performer, artist and comedian, Mik spouts lyrics, creates chaos, plays air-crook lock(!), and all-out entertains over the top of an exquisite layer of rock, soul, funk, and punk created by partner in crime Jonny Flockton on guitar. Delightful, frightening, strange and hysterically funny, Mik throws shapes and straws, and croons like a dream – sometimes.
Expect to be delighted and unnerved in equal measure as we present one of the most interesting, unpredictable, and exciting acts you’re likely to see this side of the Mersey.
Tickets on sale now.
