Martin CM (Spoken Label, August 2025)

Latest up from Spoken Label (Spoken Word Podcast) features making his debut is the wonderful Martin CM.

Martin tells his work are "are written to make people smile—or better yet, laugh. They’re intentionally different from the well-meaning, earnest, intense, political kind. His work leans towards the disrespectful: often irreverent, occasionally rude, and usually self-deprecating.

These are poems with little in the way of hidden meanings — written to be performed, not puzzled over. That said, they do often carry a thread of social commentary.Martin has performed across various venues in the North West. A career highlight? Making the Top Four at the Liverpool Fringe—something he proudly (and constantly) reminds his family of.

His book Poems for People Who Don’t Like Poetry is available on Amazon—and has sold dozens!
