Stand-up poet Jude Simpson performs her unique blend of observational comedy, witty wordplay, poetry, rap and song at theatres, festivals and other venues around the UK. 
Jude has been variously described as "a polite suburban hip-hopper",
"utterly charming", 
"impossible not to enjoy", "a cross between Eminem and Joyce Grenfell" and someone with the unusual ability to leave you feeling "warm inside and content with the world"

A final couple of chances to catch “Making Happy” at Potton in Bedfordshire and a local arts festival in Worcester.  Then some Christmassy fun with a comedy tour – “9 Carols and Comedians” in November and December...  Check it all out on the “What’s On” page!  And if you haven’t got your copy of the new CD “Reptile Needs” yet, scroll on down and get ordering! 

Jude is a slam-winner, entertainer, wordsmith, regular radio contributor, columnist and writer.

Just Walk With Me, published in March 2008, is the true story of a Christian project in Bradford working with young people from disadvantaged backgrounds.  It has been written by Jude on the basis of interviews with staff and young people at the project itself - "e:merge".

"A bitingly honest, extremely engaging and at times laugh out loud funny account of no holds barred youth work."
