Hakkımda: Helen Keen loves space rockets. She brings their story to life with a fusion of stand-up comedy and tinfoil in her debut solo show - a celebration of stargazing, space stamp collecting and the boundless possibilities of an infinite universe... With Space Nazis! Satanists! And Aeronautical Engineers! *It Is Rocket Science!* will take you on a whistlestop tour around the Great Brains who put monkeys, ladies, dogs and gentlemen into orbit.

"It's not often you leave a stand-up comedy show and hear members of the audience discussing Newton, Kruschev and the distance of the Earth from Alpha Centauri… sparky, intelligent and endearing... her enraptured audience proved that space has lost none of its magic."
ROBBIE CARNEGIE, BUXTON FRINGE
"This is a jolly hour of geeky lunchtime fun, part way between the Royal Institution Christmas Lectures, QI, Blue Peter and some dodgy Sixties Czechoslovakian children’s animation." CHORTLE.CO.UK
* * * * "refreshingly different… tons of fun props prove Keen's skilful knowledge of visual humour."
FESTMAG.CO.UK
* * * * "Packed with gags, silliness and science... a fun, fast-paced, gag-filled show"
BROADWAY BABY
* * * * "Wonderful imagination... it's charming, interesting, funny
and one of the most original shows on the Fringe." THREE WEEKS
"....one of the overlooked gems of last year's Edinburgh Fringe...startlingly fine entertainment throughout." THE GUARDIAN
