This year we decided that we'd go all out on fundraising for and showcasing the wonder that is spoken word on the Free Fringe.
As well as shows and bucket-shaking, we went one further and created an album so that you can experience quite what a wide range "Spoken Word" covers for us. The glorious result - "A Maze of Breaths" - costs a mere £5 to download all 19 tracks, or £1 for each individual track if you're being picky... :)

On the morning of its launch we had a guest post on our blog by the gentleman primarily responsible for the album’s generation, Dave Pickering of Stand Up Tragedy. Take it away, Dav:
Hi!
My name is Dave Pickering and I run a night called Stand Up Tragedy. We’re taking a show up to the PBH’s Free Fringe this year. As our show is also a podcast and we have lots of audio experience, we agreed to put together an album to celebrate and fundraise for the spoken word line-up at the Free Fringe, which our tragic variety show is proud to be a part of.
A Maze of Breaths: Spoken Word at PBH’s Free Fringe is the result of our efforts.
It’s a selection of live and recorded tracks, bringing to your ears the spirit of the spoken word line-up at the PBH Free Fringe. We bring to you the variety and energy of the festival, making you laugh, think, feel and move with this collection that combines poetry, storytelling, music, comedy and everything in between...
