Jack has performed at many events with I Am Loud Poets. In 2023, Hunter won the I Am Loud Highland Heat Slam. He went on to compete in the I Am Loud Grand Slam Final at the Edinburgh International Book Festival.

Jack placed third in the Scottish Grand Slam Final  at the Britannia Panopticon in Glasgow (2024). Jack has also performed his poetry at music festivals such as Fynefest and Belladrum Tartan Heart Festival.

Jack is also part of the performance group The Grim Collective. The group is a collaboration with musician and composer Nik Paget-Tomlinson. A fusion of spoken word and live music.

Jack’s poetical style is a surrealist and satirical blend that aims to provoke and amuse audiences in equal measure. See videos below to get a wee taste.
