Spacetacular

Helen Keen Spacetacular
London’s West End isn’t normally thought of as a hotbed of science and exploration, but an out-of-this-world variety show will soon bring a different kind of star performance to the capital’s entertainment district.

Spacetacular! is quite possibly the first stand-up comedy/science/fancy dress/variety/quiz show entirely themed around outer space. Acts will include top space scientists, TV presenters, comedians, musicians and others passionate about the exploration of our universe.

The show is presented by comedian Helen Keen, star of Radio 4’s space comedy It Is Rocket Science. The evening is co-organised with Matt Brown, editor of Londonist.com, a former editor at Nature and all round space geek.

Audience members are encouraged to come dressed in a space costume - anything from full-on fancy dress to a tin-foil wristband. There’s also a unique opportunity to get onstage with an audience show-and-tell, so bring your Millenium Falcon/alien autopsy footage/any other spacey goodness.

Helen Keen’s Spacetacular runs at Leicester Square Theatre on Sunday 27 January 2013. Tickets are now available from http://leicestersquaretheatre.ticketsolve.com/shows/873484071/events
