21st July

Tomorrow's It Is Rocket Science! in Henley has only one ticket left (I'm as surprised as you are....), a few more for Saturday though.
And if you're in Henley some other time, check out Hot Gossip Coffeehouse on Friday St - it's wonderful!

25th June

Hello!

I've got a brand new version of It Is Rocket Science! and it'll be on all over the shop this summer.

I'm at the Buxton Fringe on the 9th, 10th and 11th of July, the Henley Fringe on 22nd, 23rd and 24th July, the Camden Fringe on 3rd and 4th of August and then Edinburgh Fringe from 6th to 30th of August (click on the above place names for ticket info).

I'll also be performing a Free Fringe show - Keen & Khan: Starstruck! on the 9th, 10th and 11th August at the Voodoo Rooms, with real life rocket scientist Dr Sophia Khan. Click here for more details.

There will be several science festival-y/conference-y outings for It Is Rocket Science! (and for The Primitive Methodist Guide to Arctic Survival) later in the year too.

And the in-front-of-a-live-audience recording of the radio series should be sometime in October in London. I'll post details here as soon as I have any definite dates....
Thanks!

26th January

Hello - I'm in Otley on Saturday 30th January to do my Arctic Survival show (EDIT -apparently this is now sold out with a waiting list for tickets (?!) but I'm in York closing the Science Festival there with the same show on Sunday 21st March). Also, I'm a guest on Woman's Hour in Manchester on Friday 29th January (and my mother is very excited about that (esp. after I didn't make on there at the last minute in October - very kind of W.H. to have me back!))

24th November

I'm going to be performing my latest Edinburgh show The Primitive Methodist Guide to Arctic Survival at the Etcetera Theatre in Camden on 14th December at 7.30pm.

Tickets are £6.50 and that includes membership, so you'll get money off anything else you go to see there (see www.etceteratheatre.com for more details). (If you're already a member tickets are £5. If you're really skint but would still like to come, email me & we'll sort something out...)

Please come! If nothing else it will probably be quite festive.

PS
Check out the 'suprise me!' dinosaur button. One day it will be like the improbability drive, transporting you to far flung, fascinating corners of the Internet universe, but - for now - "just" elsewhere upon this website...



15th November

It's a strange thing - if you're a world leader & you put big pictures of yourself up *everywhere* then people mutter darkly about totalitarian Stalinist dictatorships. However if you work in comedy & are doing a website, preliminary research suggests you can go to town and no-one bats an eyelid.... So welcome to helenkeen.com. I will edit them down soon, but for now there are too many pictures of me (I do know that, just so you know).

Reproduction of images is free for normal publicity purposes/any large parades at which nuclear weapons will be wheeled reverently past my immense countenance.

That's all for now, bye!

Yrs, The Beloved Leader xxxxx

Hello - like so many things in (my) life, this website is a work-in-progress and done with no budget - so if you see something horribly awry or have any helpful suggestions for how to make it better please do get in touch & let me know (helen@helenkeen.com).

Keep checking back to watch it evolve excitingly....

Thank-you!
