Ghost of the Hob

Ghost of the Hob is a collection of Charles’s poetry from late 2019 to early 2020, including live set favourites and new pieces written for the page. It is evidence of suffering, survival and joy.

“Charles' work is important, thoughtful and well crafted. As powerful on the page as it is on stage” – BBC Edinburgh Fringe Slam Champion Jess Green

“This collection deftly captures the performer in every loner, the joy in the difficulty of existence and articulates an entire complex world of self in both on and offline personas. The speaker and the poems are brave – I’ve always enjoyed how honest Charles’ writing is (and how his titles are always attempting to steal the limelight).” – Saboteur Award Winner Emily Harrison
