Tuesday 12th April – Spacetacular! for Yuri’s Night – £3

Posted March 10, 2011

Come and celebrate the 50th Anniversary of human spaceflight with (possibly) the first ever fancy-dress variety show themed around outer space. Throttle up for astro-comedy, space science, a show-and-tell of space memorabilia and a cosmic quiz. Maybe biscuits.

50 years ago to the day, Russian Yuri Gagarin became the first human to orbit the Earth. 30 years ago to the day, the first Space Shuttle was launched by the USA… Two perfect excuses to dress up as Skylab and join in with a friendly enthusiasm-fest about the Cosmos.

Your hosts are comedian Helen Keen (BBC Radio 4’s *It Is Rocket Science!*) and Matt Brown (editor of Londonist, former editor at Nature and all-round space nerd). They will introduce special guests from the world of comedy and space science. Expect quizzes, talks, music, costumes AND prizes, all with a cosmic theme…

Dress code: whatever you like, including normal civilian clothes, but outfits involving tin foil are particularly encouraged.
