CLARE FERGUSON-WALKER

CLARE IS UNIQUE. She is an award winning poet, comedienne, sculptor and singer.
Clare’s explosive second collection "Chrysalis" Published by Clockwork Moth, lays bare the
poet's soul and takes the reader on an intimate journey laced with humour and intelligent
humane observation.
"Hilarious, touching and incredibly clever" - Metro
"Don't know how Clare can get up on stage and be so effortlessly funny and engaging, I love
her stuff" - Brian Bilson

Clare Ferguson-Walker is a regular special guest with the legendary "Governor of UK stand up
poetry", John Cooper Clarke. She has shows with him coming up soon on his upcoming UK tour
in spring 2024. JCC says CFW is as "Funny as Fuck". Could there be a greater accolade from
the man who so many stand ups cite as their greatest influence. Just ask Tom Rhodes!
Another UK poet and stand up who Clare has often worked with, Phil Jupitus describes her as
"Absurdly Talented" The late great Jeremy Hardy was a massive fan.

Her debut spoken word show "California Scheming" toured the UK to rave reviews.

"A glorious trip around the West Coast along with a trip
around this incredible woman's mind, hilarious and deeply touching" 5 stars - Metro.
"Clare Ferguson-Walker has bite and tenderness, she can be as raw as a wound and then as funny as any stand-up." Radio 4's Matt Harvey.

Clare has performed at Literature festivals and events throughout the UK. Her late night shows
at the 2023 Dylan Thomas’ Laugharne Weekend and the accolades she received, made her
realize she needs to get back on the road with a stand up show. Mixing her poetry with comedy,
she's ready to get back to work at her first love.

Clare's sculptures have gained her international recognition, with shows in Japan, LA and San
Francisco, her work appears in public and private collections all over the world and she was
recently named in the Times as “one of the U.K's leading female sculptors."
As a singer, Clare is currently working with legendary producer Craig Leon on their debut
collaboration.
