I try to avoid any events with the word ‘science’ in them. Not that I’m against science festivals. I love them. But my remit, as I see it, is to take knowledge to audiences that aren’t already ‘converted’. However, when the British Science Association asked me to put together a comedy night for their 2009 festival it was my excuse to do a gig with two of my favourite comedians – the magnificent Robin Ince and deliciously bonkers Andrew O’Neill. Tickets are (gratifyingly) nearly sold out, but you can still grab one from the Yvonne Arnaud theatre box office (it’s in Guildford – and there’s nothing I can do about that) – just click on the image to the left. Following on from my last post I’m considering a Yoda/ Gollum face-off as Tom will be in the room (the gig’s being filmed for the series taster). Want the precious, do you?
