It's not impossible for science to be funny, but if you'd prefer to hire a
professional to do it for you, please feel free to contact us.
We are The Comedy Research Project, and our half-hour cabaret style show was
very well received at last year's Cheltenham Science Festival. Both of us
are professional performers with a track record on the stand up comedy
circuit, and also science writers. Dr. Pilcher was formerly a practising
scientist, and I co-wrote a radio comedy featuring the solar neutrino
anomaly which is going to be repeated on BBC Radio 4 on March 11th.
If you'd like to know more about what we do, or even to consider hiring us,
please contact me off-list on
