So, this is where I’ll be for most of May: touring with the Uncaged Monkeys

With (clockwise from top left) Simon Singh, Robin Ince, Ben Goldacre and Brian Cox.

I’m performing at all 15 shows, yes, even the Hammersmith Apollo one. I’ll be singing songs about science and wearing pretty dresses. It’s going to be nice. Especially because I get to see these four on the left do their awesome thing every night of the week.

And it’s going to be EVERYWHERE, like, well, not EVERYWHERE but in lots of places like Glasgow and Cardiff and Newcastle and the like. So my parents might actually make the effort to come and see it but “only if it’s got that nice young space Professor in it too”

My first spangly pink newsletter went out earlier this week, with what I’m up to at the moment. What I’m up to is “a lot”, it turns out… here’s the news in all its tan-coloured glory:

Quick blog for the New Year, I hope you all had fun as the clocks ticked over to 2011 and your iPhone alarms gave you an extra few hours in bed.

Just before Christmas I played the Ghost of Geekmas Past in a podcast version of A Christmas Carol. It was written by Geek Night In impresario Richard Preston and it’s come out rather nicely. You can listen to if free online if you want to keep things festive a bit longer – I’m the one singing and playing ukulele about halfway through. Here’s the link:

Happy 2011 everyone!
