Dear Blackpool LUG,

My name is Katie, and I’d like to let you know about Festival of the Spoken
Nerd, the “resplendently geeky” *(The Times) *science comedy show coming to
a theatre near you. I'm hoping you and your colleagues might be interested
in a trip to see the show! SUDO check out the details below.

They’ve just completed a storming run at the Edinburgh Fringe, and are now
touring across the UK with their all-new show *Just For Graphs*
<http://festivalofthespokennerd.com/shows/just-for-graphs>.

If you saw the Nerds in their 2014 show *Full Frontal Nerdity*
<http://festivalofthespokennerd.com/dvd> live on stage or on DVD, you’ll
know what to expect from the science comedy phenomenon where “charm and
perky curiosity is in its DNA” *(The Guardian)*

But this new show isn’t just full of stand-up mathematics, scientifically
accurate songs and electrifying live experiments... It's bigger, bolder,
even more fire-filled and the reviewers agree:

*****  "Bustling with brain-teasing excellence; fun with fire, singing and
super awesome experiments" *(Mumble Comedy)*

*****  "So much fun… and flames… who knew formulae could be so funny?"
*(One4Review)*

****    "Fantastic and funny… you don’t need to be a ‘nerd’ to enjoy this
show” *(Broadway Baby)*

“Just For Graphs” is the perfect night out for nerds, non-nerds, and anyone
who wants to satisfy their sci-curiousity. Don’t miss them as they set
charts on fire, sing a lullaby to comet lander Philae and perform a live
retro Fax machine solo at a venue near you this Autumn.

The closest show to you is:

Salford - The Lowry

Pier 8, Salford Quays, M50 3AZ

Sunday October 25th, 20:00 - Tickets £18 inc. booking fee

*The science comedy phenomenon are back, and this time they’re Off The
Chart! *

Following their sell-out 2014 tour “Full Frontal Nerdity”, Festival of the
Spoken Nerd are on the road again this Autumn with graph-a-minute fun on an
unprecedented linear scale.

Stand-up mathematician *Matt Parker* (BBC2 Things You Need To Know,
Discovery Channel You Have Been Warned) experiments maestro *Steve Mould* (ITV
I Never Knew That About Britain, BBC The One Show) and geeky songstress *Helen
Arney* (BBC Radio4 Infinite Monkey Cage, BBC2 Coast) mix astonishing
science with statistically significant comedy in “the nerd show to end all
nerd shows” *(The List)*

In this all-new show for 2015 you’ll find mind-blowing mathematics,
scientifically accurate songs and electrifying live experiments - where the
audience become a giant speaker cable, complete with retro fax machine solo.

**** “Smart and funny… The perfect night out for Mythbusters fans, or
Brainiac fans who are ready for some actual science.” *(The Skinny)*

With over a million views on YouTube for their experiments, songs and
stand-up, this is your chance to see the “resplendently geeky trio”* (The
Times)* Excel themselves in an unforgettable night of comedy and curiosity.
Will they stay on trend, or lose the plot completely?

**** “Great, funny, clever... even the heckles at this terrific show are
smart”* (The Scotsman)*

*Recommended age 14+. Contains strong language and graph-ic material.*
