The Bitter Poet Home Page


Like a cross between Lou Reed and William Shatner, The Bitter Poet, from New York City, performs his guitar-driven poems in his darkly humorous and satirical one-man show about searching for True Love and the contortionists you meet along the way!

The Bitter Poet is written and performed by New York City actor Kevin Draine. 

The Bitter Poet has been described as, “ a quirky figure who demands attention, and not just because he is prone to scream at the top of his lungs, rip off his shirt, and dance about like a poster boy for the Saint Vitus Dance!” 

His show is a high-energy, irreverent celebration of the crazy things we do for love!
