Helen Arney

Fresh from their latest UK tour, Matt Parker, Steve Mould and Helen Arney have created yet another comedy spectacular for digital download. Packed full of science, songs and spherical geometry, the intrepid trio go further than ever to celebrate nerdiness in all its raw and unpolished glory. You Can’t Polish A Nerd is the third show from science comedy phenomenon Festival of the Spoken Nerd. It’s here to put the “ooh” into zoology, the “fun” into fundamental theorem of calculus and the “recursion” into recursion, creating the ultimate in audio-visual entertainment for nerds and non-nerds.
