Jo Morrigan Black (they/them) is a Paris-born writer, visual artist and performance poet. They have worked with indigenous leaders in Colombia, left stray feathers in Berlin and now stalk the streets of Dublin as a vampire.

Jo’s writing dwells in journals such as Poetry Ireland Review and Abridged. Their stage performances combine Spoken Word, physical theatre and surrealist costuming in order to celebrate the queer and the unknowable in each of us. They have been commissioned by the Runoviikko Festival in Finland and broadcasted on Dublin Digital Radio.

Showcased by Culture Ireland at Edinburgh Fringe 2025, their drag poetry show CARPET MUNCHER is currently touring Ireland.

“At some point, your hybrid performance will take on a life of its own. Be kind to it. Listen to what it has to say.”
