- Johnny turned out for a showing of his documentary 'Evidently John Cooper Clarke' - graced us with three poems and did a question and answer session at the end. Apologies for any shaking of the camera - that would be me laughing so hard!

I think every word he says qualifies as poetry - difficult to tell when the act starts and finishes
I wish I had known of him years earlier... what an amazing talent.
I found him through the punk scene in '81.
Not just a genuis poet but a great comedian too.
Those opening remarks are very funny.
First time I heard him uncensored was on the Funhouse Show on KPFT 90.1 in Houston. Instantly addicted
I met him once, and had a long and interesting chat about Manchester in the late 70's that included Joy Division and Nico. It was back in 85 during what he calls his lost years. He is a lovely man, very friendly, witty, a raconteur. Its was, in the back of beyond, in a provincial town and after one of his gigs and he was looking for a place to crash. He will not remember me I'm sure but the thing that struck me, not just his stick thin physique and the hair but also his ability to, chameleon like, get on with complete strangers, even though incongruously, he looks nothing like most people. Very much your great British eccentric.
Did you put him up
@@paulflah4562 Yeah he slept bolt upright on the sofa and was gone when I got up next morning.
@@Edward1312 haha I can so imagine that, was he clothed all night ?
@@paulflah4562 Of course
@@Edward1312 hahaha @ Tony Smith thanks for the reply its made me laugh. Now I'm thinking of you when you got up looking forward to talking to him possibly sober but only to find a slight dent in the cushion and a vague smell of hair spray lol
That is sooo romantic 💖
Who said romance is dead eh.❤
Best line for me.."I stayed in a hotel in Burnley once...they stole MY towel"
Great line isn't it
A unique and unforgettable man 💖
One of my favorites by him!
Loved the advertising, helps to remind you how shit life really is, even when you're enjoying something it's imortant to be reminded.
Too true, everything is ruined by marketeers!!
Well they were the sponsors of the event to be fair.
Yes indeed. Filmed last year in sheffield whilst promoting a documentary about himself. Still going strong.
That is GOLD!
great video
He got skinny teenager legs
Always has had
He strikes me as someone who thinks he's more intelligent and witty and eloquent than he really is.
This set is simply your classic old-man 'I hate my wife' jokes, a dying genre and thank goodness.
I think you need to listen to his poetry more carefully
Or even simply listen and understand the title of the poem, ...considering it's the polar opposite of your criticism.
Wow swing and a miss. I saw him in 77/76. Very good but not a woman hater or hater towards anyone. Good luck in life Penda
I feel sorry for you.
@@freebornjohn2687 cool, you do you. I don't feel sorry for myself, which is critical in this world🕊☮
Doesn't he sound like the nonce Jimmy Saville?
Not really. One had a Yorkshire accent the other has Manc with American influences.
@@TheBatspice I thought they sounded the same! Ah well thanks for pointing out the accents!
