Dear Dan, Nathan and all at KLUG,

My name’s Charlotte, and I’m emailing about Festival of the Spoken Nerd,
the trio of insatiably sci-curious comedians coming to a theatre near you.



The Nerds are touring from September to December with an all-new night of
wit and wonder: “Just For Graphs
<http://festivalofthespokennerd.com/around-uk>”. Expect stand-up
mathematics, scientifically accurate songs and even a few charts on fire in
a spectacular graphic finale - where the audience become a giant musical
instrument, complete with retro fax machine solo.



Their 2014 “Full Frontal Nerdity” tour got rave reviews from nerds and
non-nerds alike, and is available now on DVD and download
<http://festivalofthespokennerd.com/dvd/>:

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

**** “The nerd show to end all nerd shows” - The List



This new show for 2015 is another great night of entertainment and we’re
hoping to “spread the nerd” far and wide.



The closest date to you is:

*Friday 4 December, Theatre Royal, Margate*



We’d love the venue to be filled with people who appreciate a unique
mixture of comedy, theatre and unashamed nerdiness, and we hope you’ll join
us: a trip to the show could be a great social event for KLUG. Full details
are below: do feel free to cut, paste or forward this email to any
colleagues, students, friends and family who may like to hear about it.



The full “Just For Graphs” tour schedule with tickets links and interactive
map is here <http://festivalofthespokennerd.com/around-uk/>, and I’ve put
more about the show below to make it easy to pass on the information.



Please note that the show is only suitable for ages 15+ as it contains some
strong language and plenty of graph-ic material.



Thanks very much!



Charlotte,

Production Assistant, Festival of the Spoken Nerd

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 – and maybe a few things that go BANG!



In this all-new show for 2015 you’ll find mind-blowing mathematics,
scientifically accurate songs and even a few charts on fire in a
spectacular graphic finale - where the audience become a giant musical
instrument, complete with retro fax machine solo.



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?



Recommended age 15+. Contains strong language and graph-ic material.
