John Cooper Clarke is an English performance poet who first became famous during the punk rock era of the late 1970s when he became known as a "punk poet". He released several albums in the late 1970s and early 1980s, and continues to perform regularly. He has performed on the same bill as bands such as the Sex Pistols, Joy Division, Elvis Costello and New Order. Clarke was the subject of a BBC Four documentary, 'Evidently... John Cooper Clarke', in May 2012.
He appeared as himself in the 2012 film Ill Manors, directed by the rapper Plan B. In July 2013, Clarke was awarded an honorary doctorate of arts by the University of Salford. He has appeared on the BBC shows 'Have I Got News for you' and 'Never Mind the Buzzcocks'.

How can such an educated and presumably bright bunch have such an obtuse demeanour? I mean JCC had to laugh at his own quips amidst the deafening silence, and he was really funny. They all looked bloody bewildered.

John Cooper Clarke | The Cambridge Union 1343pm 21.4.23 they must have canned laughter added, then. or spliced interactive audience participation as they seemed to warm to him.. i want to see a cinematic biopic of him. the wheeler dealer the junkie con man. the wanting his last fix. and then his other last fix. etc etc etc... he's good but reminds me of some dude in the pub. he's another level unto himself. indeed, the kids waffling on about havin' the pish taken out of themselves for doin' the poetic thing... it's the feminine aspect of JCC's demeanour. as was the obsession of his to wear decent clobber and look the part. aye; a ken russell and john cooper clark cinematic biopic would have been amazing. i also feel JCC has the Jarry vibe about him..

I saw him in Galway circa 2007--utter class, great warmth, and of course the poems were terrific. I cherish my signed copy of 'Ten Years in an Open-necked Shirt'.

Like all the arts, poetry is a form of self expression and can be a very cathartic experience. Like Johnnie says everyone can have a go at one or more of the arts and everybody should. Don't put artists on pedestals, because everyone's capable of self expression. We're just brought up to think we're not.

I strongly recommend this guy interviewing doesn’t take it up as a profession. Awful interviewing style, non engaging, looking around the room and has one of the most entertaining and interesting people in the country in front of him.

John Cooper Clarke | The Cambridge Union 1400pm 21.4.23 what do i think?: the poet of whatever calibre - could be understating his aims on purpose or engaging with being utter tosh for the sake of it. the poet per se?: is the road to despotism, democracy and narcissism. as for JCC himself... i dunno. i have always shied away from commenting on them as people - these celebs... they're front men for a band or a guitarist or a standalone fiend. when they joss it will be the time to reflect. not that that means yer gonna be able to formulate an opinion.
