**** "Wonderful imagination... it's charming, interesting, funny and one of the most original shows on the Fringe" |
 |
**** "Packed with gags, silliness and science... a fun, fast-paced, gag-filled show" |
 |
**** "Refreshingly different... skilful knowledge of visual humour." |
 |
"Startlingly fine entertainment throughout... crisp, sophisticated comedy" |
 |
"a jolly hour of geek fun, part way between the Royal Institution Christmas Lectures, QI, Blue Peter and some dodgy Sixties Czechoslovakian children's animation... it is, aptly enough, a blast" |
 |
"Science humour really taking off!" |
 |
"Quickfire entertaining and informative" |
 |
"She's full of admiration for those involved in the space race. We're full of admiration for her" |
 |

|
**** "Verve and energy... constant and unwavering wit" |
|
**** "Entertaining and eclectic; she starts with a puppet show, riffs some Dickens and ends with T.S. Eliot." |
|
**** "Effervescent... bubbly, enthusiastic... This is a show that's had a lot of love put in, and in return a lot of fun is given out." |
 |
**** "From the naive to the gruesome... enthusiasm and energy... inventive... innocent" |
 |
"geekily amusing, enthusiastically presented... truly brought to life by the intriguing tangents of trivia she allows herself to explore, those little footnotes of eccentric behaviour by big-bearded, earnest men... I found myself consistently rapt. QI fans should find plenty to engage them here" |
 |
One of the Guardian Guide's Pick of the Programme: "Fiercely intelligent comedy" |

On the front cover of *another* magazine, Helen Keen? Well, I reply modestly, it's the Otley Courthouse Spring Programme 2010 (- but it still totally counts!) They very kindly hosted the (sold out) show in January. Review here. |
