Hi Python people As Katie points out below, Festival of the Spoken Nerd may well be of interest to anyone looking for some geeky comedy action. A few of us are already going. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: "Spoken Nerd" <[email protected]> Date: 24 Jan 2014 15:19 Subject: Stand Back! Full Frontal Nerdity is coming to a city near you… To: <[email protected]> Cc:
Dear Mark / Python NW, It's Katie here, and I’m emailing about Festival of the Spoken Nerd, a group of sci-curious comedians coming to a theatre near you. Hopefully you've heard of them! The Spoken Nerds are travelling across the UK from January 2014 with their all-new show full of wit and wonder: Full Frontal Nerdity. With rave reviews from nerds and non-nerds alike, it’s a fantastic night of science comedy entertainment, and we’re hoping to spread the word far and wide. The Nerds electrocute an innocent gerkhin for science, smash a glass with just the power of the human voice (plus a heavy duty amplifier) and do things with spreadsheets that are illegal in 17 countries. And have I mentioned the flame tornados? Both of them? We think you and your Python NW colleagues might be interested in the show. There are a few tour dates in your local area – including one at the Lowry on 13th February (details below). It’d make a great group night out! Please could you let your members / colleagues / friends know about Full Frontal Nerdity, and pass this on to anyone you think will enjoy it? Full details are below, and do feel free to cut, paste or forward this email. We’d love your local venues to be filled with people who appreciate the unique mixture of comedy, science and nerdiness, and we hope you’ll join us too. Please note that the show is only suitable for ages 15+ as it contains some strong language and spreadsheets. Thanks very much!
