| Performance Notes | The planned Sea Shambles event at the Hall was sadly cancelled, but we're delighted that a rejigged at-home version of the show will form part of our Royal Albert Home series. In these strange times, closing the Hall's doors is the best way to look after the world, but we are now opening a (virtual) window for you to experience some of the most talented artists around.
Anchored by Robin Ince (co-host of Radio 4's Infinite Monkey Cage), Dr Helen Czerski (renowned physicist and oceanographer) and Steve Backshall(naturalist, explorer and wildlife presenter), the show will see a range of special guest scientists, comedians and musicians join the fun from their living rooms for a science, music and comedy show about the past, present and future of our blue planet. We look forward to welcoming you to this eclectic livestream event for comedy lovers, music fans and science enthusiasts alike. |
