Harry Baker can’t get enough of Bath, and hopes Bath isn’t fed up of him yet.
After bringing his sellout tour show to the Komedia earlier in the year he is back for a very special live edition of his beloved podcast, Something Borrowed!
Following on from last year’s triumphant live recording with Hollie McNish and Vanessa Kisuule, Harry is thrilled to be back with some of his favourite poets on one of his favourite stages in front of his favourite people (that’s you). Featuring live performance and lovely chat, it promises to be very special indeed.
World Poetry Slam Champion Harry Baker is a poet, a maths graduate, and a new father. His work has connected with millions online, from being shared on TED.com to making people cry through their TikTok and Instagram feeds, but he thinks it is even better in person. His latest collection Tender came out in March 2026 and was an instant Sunday Times Bestseller, accompanied by a 60-date tour all over the UK and Ireland. He lives and writes and swims and runs and takes his baby to nice coffee shops in Margate.
