Chloe Poems first appeared in "The Beige Experience" - a Liverpool based cabaret double act in the late eighties. Born again, a fully rounded, impassioned visionary in gingham in 1993, Chloe has since followed her emotional mission to make the world a better place.
Chloe has toured nationally over the last 7 years with her full length theatre shows, Knockers, Chloe Poems Healing Roadshow, Universal Rentboy, Kinky and ME. Frequent hits at the Edinburgh Festival, these shows toured up and down the country, from Aberdeen (where Chloe was Cover Girl for Miss Alternative Aberdeen) to Portsmouth.
A stalwart of the cabaret circuit, Chloe has performed and hosted a diverse range of events, from hosting Gay Pride in front of 100,000 people, to being ushered out of a Bristol pub whilst being told "Bristol isn't ready for you".
Her anthology Universal Rentboy, was published in 2000 by The Bad Press and is available in all good book shops.
The poetry of Chloe Poems is coated in audacity. It is rare that a collection can be described as groundbreaking with any real sense of authority or truth. For a poet to capture the empathy of others is sadly rare, but to achieve this feat whilst ensnaring those thoughts most entertain but seldom express, is almost unique. !n defiantly unshockable times, Ms Poems manages to make jaws drop with remarkable ease. One would expect little less from Britain's first gay socialist transvestite poet and radical agenda bender. Described by The Times as "so filthy it verges on the educational"; by The Independent as "all the pugnaciousness of a prize fighter"; and by Gay Times as "a massive rising star of enormous talent", - outrage has rarely been so perfectly crafted and delivered by such a deliciously gingham-clad glove.
Jenni Potter, creator of Chloe Poems, is also a playwright, director, actor and workshop leader.
