Joshua Idehen isn’t here to decorate the line-up. The British artist of Nigerian heritage turns thoughts into spoken word, laced with humour, clarity and the occasional existential gut-punch. His electronic productions hit hard, while his reflections on doubt and mental health spiral into something unexpectedly euphoric. On stage, he doesn’t merely recite, he inhabits. He speaks, the crowd answers, the pulse intensifies, and before you know it, you’re dancing to lines that, moments earlier, had you caught in your throat.
