Stand-up science and puppetry
Helen Keen: Future Robot Woman! is at The Temple, 121 Western Road, on May 8, 9, 15 and 16 from 7.45-8.45pm.
Helen is a stand-up comedian and writer. Her solo shows mix stand-up with science, storytelling and inventively-homemade props, spinning comedy out of such arcane and unlikely subjects as 19th-century Arctic exploration or the development of the space rocket.
