Helen Keen
Helen Keen 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 robot.
Her 2008 debut solo show It Is Rocket Science! (about the history and development of the space rocket) received the Buxton Festival Fringe Award for Best Comedy Performance. The show went on a lengthy and successful tour of the UK - taking in and frequently selling out comedy festivals, major music festivals, science festivals and even three performances at London's Science Museum - including a show in the famous Space Gallery beside real space craft. And, in 2010, BBC Radio 4 commissioned Helen to write and appear in a comedy series based on the show, which aired late last year.
Laurence Clark
Not your average standup. In fact, he’s described as a sit-down comic" because he performs in a wheelchair and uses his experience of living with cerebral palsy as material.
Sceptical when told climb every mountain, reach for the skies and follow your dreams? Then this is definitely for you! Star of BBC1's We Won't Drop the Baby.
